Before & After Photos

This crawl space was under both home and exterior deck. When the owners noticed a large crack on the deck’s concrete slab, they began to get a little worried about the foundation. Our system design specialist went out for a visit and found out that the cinderblock foundation was actually starting to sink. With foundation went the floor joists in the crawl space, which was also the floor of the deck. In the after photo, you can see the solution our crew provided: the SmartJack system. The SmartJacks can be raised to whatever height levels out the floor joists above them, and they are also installed into the foundation floor to maintain that stability. No part of this crawl space or the structures that depend on it should sink again.

Cracking in several different places was occurring in Don’s driveway. So our team installed PolyLevel, a system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk. It uses a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. It is a simple process and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. Also, the PolyLevel system is waterproof and long-lasting. 

After waterproofing their home, Patricia and Glen in Watervliet, MI, noticed their basement walls bowing due to foundation settlement. To restore stability, Ayers installed GeoLock® wall anchors, reinforcing the walls and preventing further movement. Now, their home near Paw Paw Lake is safer and structurally sound for years to come.

A bowing wall in Dylan’s basement was beginning to form cracks as well. To fix this problem our team installed the PowerBrace foundation repair system on his wall. This system will immediately stop the wall from bowing and cracking more. Over time, the system can be tightened to not only secure the walls in place, but to also straighten them.

This 100 year old home in Mishawaka has sagging floors. Phillip bought the home to renovate it and has finished redoing the exterior. His next project is the basement but he knows the floors need to have a better solution than the temporary one he had put up. We installed SmartJacks to stabilize the main level floors and raise them back to the original level. They are steel posts that attach to the floor joists and have a stable base at the floor- they are cemented to the ground. The posts are adjustable anytime for the home in case it needs it, providing a permanent solution to the sagging floor!
