Amy's home was built in the 1800s. For safety purposes, the house required new foundation support. She called Ayers for our foundation repair options, so we had a team of professionals head over for a free inspection. Our system design specialists recommended SmartJacks. This solution is installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base installed in the subfloor. This system can be easily adjusted down the road. These adjustments will even lift the floors to a level position. Amy feels relieved now that she has permanent, upgraded foundation support for her old home!
Paul's living room floor was slanted, and he wasn't sure how to fix it. Knowing this was a sign of foundation issues, he decided to call Ayers to learn about our solutions. Our experts stopped by and recommended installing the SmartJacks supplemental support system. Store-bought floor jacks often fail beneath the pressure of the home, but SmartJacks are designed to last. Each SmartJack is hot-dipped in galvanized steel, zinc-plated, and has a two-foot base depth to reduce load-bearing stress. Paul feels better about his floor!
A customer in South Bend, Indiana called us about her basement wall that was bowing. She was scared and wanted our help, so we drove to her property and gave her a free estimate. After analyzing the situation, we decided the best route to save her basement wall from collapsing would be to use our PowerBrace system. 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 that this homeowner has PowerBraces installed in their home, they won't have to worry any longer.
Jeff noticed his basement walls had large, deep voids in them. The voids allowed moisture entry, and he couldn't tolerate it anymore, so he called Ayers for help. We sent a team of professionals to his home to examine the space and see what we could do. They suggested Shotcrete, a solution that applies a concrete or mortar wet spray through a high-pressure hose to fill a form or repair damaged surfaces. Jeff is relieved to have sealed basement walls.
Foundation walls were cracking and sinking in Karolyn’s home so she called our team and we installed PowerBrace. PowerBrace is a foundation repair system created to secure basement walls in place. 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.
