Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Plainwell, MI, faced bowing foundation walls that threatened her home’s structural integrity, especially with an upcoming city sewer project. Ayers installed six GeoLock® wall anchors to stabilize the walls and protect her home from further damage. Now, her foundation is secure, and she can confidently move forward, knowing her home is ready for any challenges ahead.

Nathan has a cottage that is used during the summer. This past summer he noticed cracks around the home, his floors were not level, and there was some problems with opening doors. We used Helical Piers to stabilize and lift the foundation back to the correct level. We used SmartJacks to stabilize and level the floors. These both have year-round, quick installation so you can get a permanent solution at any time!

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!
