Before & After Photos

This customer had a garage wall that was cracked, bowing inward and he believed it was starting to settle as well. The garage wall had been like this for almost 3 years but it was time to get it fixed before the entire garage collapsed. 

We were able to install our wall anchor system to fix this garage wall. We placed 5 anchors on the wall that will work over-time to straighten it back to its original position. Wall anchors are very versatile because they can fix bowing walls, walls that are pushing in at the botttom and even ones that are just tipping in at the top. These anchors are also not attached to the floor system so you don't have to worry about any issues there. They also really restore property value and are quick installation. 

This customer noticed a crack had formed in his garage wall over the past few years. Stairstep cracks are a telltale sign that your wall is failing. A failing wall is not good for resale value and definitley not good for the saftey of you or your family. It's a good idea to get foundation issues addressed as soon as possible so it doesn't create more a problem. 

For this wall crack in the customers garage we were able to install our Wall Anchors to fix the problem. Wall anchors are a very versatile repair method because they can fix: bowed walls, walls that are tipping, and walls that are pushing inwward. These anchros are installed independently of the floor system so they are a good choice to fix very severe problems. They can also be tightened over time to make sure your wall is getting back to its original position. Wall anchors can be installed around pipes, vanities, sinkes, toilets and so much more which make them a great minimal disturbing choice for repairing your walls.

This Grand Rapids home has some stairstep cracks on the basement walls and the owner is worried that the support is weak. We used CarbonArmor to support the wall and make sure more cracks don't get worse. The CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System is made up of carbon fiber fabric straps, that are stronger in tension than steel, and the straps are bonded to the wall with an epoxy resin. The straps will stabilize the wall and the best part is that the system requires no exterior excavation and won't impact future basement finishing.

This Grand Rapids couple had a bowing basement wall and some walls had cracks on it. They were worried about the support of the walls so they called us for a solution. We installed PowerBraces and CarbonArmor stabilize their basement walls. The PowerBrace Wall Repair System stops further movement of the wall and could potentially straighten the wall. It is made up of steel beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. The system does not involve any exterior excavation and installs quickly with minimal disruption. The CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System is great for walls that have cracking. This system consists of flexible carbon fiber straps. These straps are bonded to the walls using a high strength resin. This system stabilizes the wall, does not require exterior excavation, installs quickly, and does not impact the finishing of your basement.

Kathy was in need of foundational support for her bowing basement wall to ensure her home stays safe. She discovered that Ayers provides foundation solutions so she gave us a call. Our team concluded from the free inspection we conducted that she would need our PowerBrace solution.

With PowerBrace installed, this will correct the bowing concrete wall in her basement. Outside pressures are typically the main culprit that cause these basement walls to crack or tilt. This system will not only secure Kathy's wall in place, but it will also straighten the wall over time. The PowerBrace consists of steel beams that stretch the length of the wall and are installed in the floor at the base of the wall then are attached to the joists above the wall.

Now Kathy doesn't have to worry about her bowing wall getting worse with this long-lasting solution!
