Before & After Photos

Sagging crawl spaces can be a big problem. Crawl spaces support the home above them, and if this structure is failing, your house could be seriously in trouble. This Rockford, MI family gave us a call because of their fear of this failure. After a complete free, professional inspection, our team decided to install our patented SmartJack crawl space stabilizer. SmartJack provides supplemental support to your failing structure and can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, taking them back to their original position. The worry of a crumbling crawl space is no longer there! Now this family can feel safe in with their crawl space, and in their home.

Duane called us about his retaining wall. The wall was an extension of the home and was unfortunately cracking and leaning some. He wasn't sure what that meant for the stability of the home but knew it couldn't be good. The good news is that we had a reliable fix for Duane. The answer was C-Channel wall anchors. Long steel C-channels along the retaining wall were connected to steel GeoLock earth anchors buried out in the yard, away from the wall using  long steel rods. This prevents the wall from leaning any further and creates an option for slowly tightening the system over time, potentially improving the condition of the wal. With the possibility of any further damage prevented, Duane can now breathe easy.

We received a call from a homeowner from Rockford, Michigan. They were concerned about their saggy floors. So we drove to their home and found the root of the issue which was in their crawlspace, they did not have much support of the floors above. We decided to install our SmartJack system to resolve the problem forever. PowerBrace is an adjustable vertical beam used to help correct uneven foundation. The PowerBrace is placed up against the walls. Foreman will come in and tighten them over time in homes. The Power Brace is much better than I-Beam styles because it continuously improves the wall. Now, this homeowner can be worry free about there floors forever.

Steve's support structures were lacking so he decided on calling Ayers for a professional replacement. We sent a crew to take a look and make the proper recommendations. After the inspection it was agreed that SmartJacks would solve his issues. SmartJacks are steel support columns that are placed on a solid foundation base installed in the sub-floor and attached at the top to a steel support beam. The steel columns can be adjusted in the future and will raise the floors back to its original position. This will provide Steve with a strong and stable support system so his home's safety is ensured!

These homeowners had noticed their wall beginning to bow a while back. Horizontal cracks in the wall slowly got bigger as the wall visibly bowed. Time was running out and the homeowners gave us a call. Our crews came out and installed a series of 7 zinc-coated steel PowerBraces. These PowerBraces are I-beams that run floor to ceiling and prevent any further damage to the wall. The really cool feature about them is that they have a unique tightening feature that allows the system to be tightened periodically, potentially improving the condition of the wall over time. Now this wall that was a major headache has become a non-issue and weight of these homeowners' shoulders.
