Stunning Turn-Around for Dimondale, MI Approach
A couple from Dimondale, MI, sought a solution to the cement around their pole barn. Over time the couple noticed the cement cracked and was getting worse until they contacted Ayers. The team at Ayers conducted an inspection and determined the cement had settled, causing portions to drop down and crack.
Luckily Ayers had a quick and easy solution for them: PolyLevel Injection! This process injects a sprayable foam below the cement, allowing the installation crew to rise and level the cement permanently! Lastly, the team finished the approach with Nexus Joint Sealant, which covers and seals the cracks, offering a better look!
Unlevel Concrete Porch in Granger, IN
An uneven porch or driveway is never good: it causes a tripping hazard, doesn't look the best and can reduce the resale value of your home. We have come up with a new solution that uses modern technology to fix your uneven slabs. You start by drilling small holes in the concrete, smaller than a penny, and then structural grade polymers are injected into the void. The material injected is very lightweight and the best part is that it cures in 15 minutes. That means it can be drove on, walked on etc. almost right away after the work is completed. The material is also waterproof so there is no need to worry about it being washed out beneath the slab in the future.
PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair Provides a Solution to Garage Cracks in Granger, MI
Tim called Ayers when he noticed the crack in his garage foundation was getting worse. We sent a crew to his home for a free inspection and from there our System Design Specialists were able to recommend PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair. PolyLevel is a lightweight injectable foam that is injected through small drilled holes in the concrete in order to level it to the desired position. Then NexusPro Crack Repair was used to actually fill the cracks with its silicone sealant that is able to withstand harsh weather.
Tim was relieved to get this crack sealed and leveled out so he doesn't have to worry about his home's safety anymore!
PolyLevel Raises a Floor in Marcellus, MI
The living room addition floor of this Marcellus, MI home had started to slope downwards (as seen in the before photo). After lifting up the carpet to get a better understanding of the situation, the owners saw that the floor was both sinking and cracked. Lucky for them, concrete lifting is just another one of Ayers Basement Systems’ specialties.
To raise the floor, the crew pumped PolyLevel - an expanding polymer used to fill in the gaps where soil has settled - below the slab. While PolyLevel is usually used to lift concrete slabs and sidewalks, this addition’s floor was also poured concrete, so raising the floor wouldn’t affect the house’s foundation. The after photo shows the multiple different holes where the injections were made. Now, the owners can rest in this living room without fear of sinking away.
Leveling a Concrete Porch in Portage MI
Jeff had noticed his front porch concrete slab was settling due to the poor compacted soil. We used PolyLevel to lift the concrete back to a level position. This light weight foam is waterproof and stable so it won't get washed away or react with the soil underneath. It only takes about 15 minutes to cure so it won't be an inconvenience for the homeowners.
