Securing Bowing Walls in Grand Haven, MI

John’s walls started bowing in his basement so he called our team. We installed PowerBrace, a foundation repair system. It secures basement walls in place and overtime it will straighten them. Often outside pressures can cause your basement walls to crack or tilt, this foundation repair system counteracts these pressures by keeping your basement walls in place. Over time, the system can be tightened to not only secure the walls in place, but to also straighten them. 

Concrete Leveling in Grand Haven, MI

A customer needed help leveling her concrete slabs in various areas, so she called our team. We installed PolyLevel, a waterproof and long-lasting system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk. It uses a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes.

Stabilizing Foundations in Grand Haven, MI

A horizontal crack appeared in John’s foundation. So he called our team and we installed SmartJack. SmartJack is a system produced to halt sagging floors. Due to the soils and moistures in your crawl space, floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable. The Smart Jack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your floors. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

GeoLock Anchors Save Contractor's Home Project in Grand Haven, MI

Ed is a contractor and he was working on a house in Grand Haven, MI when he came across cracked foundation walls that needed to be addressed. He called Ayers to come out for an inspection and get it fixed before he continued with the project. Our System Design Specialists decided to install our GeoLock Anchors to fix this issue.

 

Our GeoLock Anchors provide a long-lasting, trustworthy solution to wall cracks as they prevent any further inward wall movement. This product consists of three parts and the first being the interior anchor plate. This will sit on the inside of the foundation wall. Then a steel cable is drilled through the plate, the wall, and the soil to a predetermined distance from the house. The next step is anchoring another plate to the other end of the cable, in stable soil. These anchors will work together to ensure the wall doesn't bow further from soil pressure. By anchoring them in the stable soil as seen in the after picture, we can tighten them over time which will help straighten the wall.

 

Ed was grateful to have these foundation problems corrected before continuing his home project!
