Before & After Photos

Brandyn D. had bowed block foundation walls in his basement that allowed moisture and water to seep in through the cracks. This led to mold issues in the basement and the homeowner was looking for a reliable solution. To stabilize the bowed walls and prevent them from shifting or cracking any further, we installed the PowerBrace system. This system held the wall in place and can potentially shift it back to its proper position over time. The steel braces were installed in the floor at the base of the wall and then attached to the joists above the wall. After being secured into place with steel brackets, the beams acted as a brace on the wall to prevent it from shifting out of place. Like dental braces, these braces can pull the wall back to its preferred position.

Have you ever noticed the cracking of any concrete or stone walls in your home? Well, those cracks get worse if not treated properly. They can grow and destroy your walls. At this home in Ada, they had a foundation wall that was crumbling so it was very weak. The homeowner called us to receive our professional help. We drive to his home to see for ourselves and this wall was in very bad condition. We knew of a solution that is much cheaper than a full foundation replacement and it is less risky. That solution is called Shotcrete. Shotcrete is a concrete that we spray out of a fire hose on to the preexisting wall to reinforce it and make it as strong as ever before. We start by connecting the old wall to a framework that will help support the concrete being sprayed on the wall. We just build the new wall right on top of the other wall. This has fewer risk than lifting the entire house does and it is quicker and cheaper, making it easy for you. You won't even need to leave your home. Now this homeowner will never have to worry about their foundation ever again.

Matt had a slant in his living room floor and wasn't sure how to fix the problem. As the slant deepened, he knew he needed help, so he called Ayers to learn about our foundation solutions. Our crew of experts visited his home to examine the space and recommended installing the SmartJacks supplemental support system. SmartJacks is a collection of floor jacks hot-dipped in galvanized steel and zinc plated to promote durability. The base of each jack is implanted two feet below the surface to reduce load-bearing stress. Matt loves having a balanced living room! 

Gary purchased his home about a year ago and everything was great. He recently noticed a crack 3/4 the length of the basement wall and it was bowing inward. We installed the CarbonAmor Wall Reinforcing System to stabilize the wall. This system includes flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. These straps are bonded to the wall using a high strength epoxy resin. This system requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing.

This home was built around the 1940's and was showing some major signs of age and the soil around the foundation had settled. Some of the block foundation wall had actually fallen and needed to be completey replaced. The homeowner also noticed that the doors and windows in the home were sticking which is another sign of the foundation settling. The floor on the first level needed to be lifted back up to its original position. There were also some very old windows that needed to be replaced as they were allowing moisture and unwanted outside elements into the basement. 

This home needed some of its foundation and other problems taken care of and they definitely called the right people for the job. We installed SmartJacks to lift the foundation back it's original position. We also replaced the block wall that had fallen and sprayed foam insulation around the rim joist to make sure this basement is completely sealed off. The entire weight of your home sits on your foundation so it's important it's sturdy and safe. This project restored the value of this home and gave the owners peace of mind knowing that their home is stable and safe for years to come.
