Before & After Photos

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.

In addition to cracks in the walls and stairs, two of Andrew’s basement walls were bowing in. To stop these issues, he called our team for repair options. Our team installed CarbonArmor, a wall reinforcing system constructed to repair damaged and bowing foundation walls. CarbonArmor is used to fix your foundation walls by preventing inward movement and reducing the cracks in your walls. This system can easily be concealed for your basement to have a sleek, finished look.

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!

Brian O. contacted us because the floors above his crawl space severely sloped and needed to be leveled. He also was having a problem with the home being very humid which was happening becaues the crawl space was wet. 

To fix the wet crawl space we installed our CleanSpace system to encapsulate the area. CleanSpace makes sure no outside elements can get in and it's very sturdy so it can still be walked on and had stuff stored on it. To fix the sinking floors we installed our SmartJacks. SmartJacks are installed and then the weight of the home is transferred to them so it's not on the unlevel, sinking soil.

The homeowners in Pierso, MI were noticing that there was a slope in their floor right above the crawl space. That slope is a major sign of foundation problems and that something needs to be corrected before further damage is caused. 

Our professional team decided that the SmartJack crawl space stabalizers were the way to go. Sagging, bouncy floors indicate a serious structural problem that will worsen over time. The best way to permanently solve sagging, bouncy floor problems is to install SmartJack posts beneath the beam that supports your crawl space joists. The product is designed to raise the floor back to its original level. SmartJacks are protected with a thick galvanized coating preventing them from rusting.
