Installing a GeoLock Anchor in a Saginaw Basement
Mr. Oshay was looking to redo a fixer-upper. The boarded up windows were a sign to Mr. Oshay that he had his work cut out for him. When he invited our foreman Evan in for an inspection, Even noticed a large number of cracks in his basement brick walls. The Cracks had progressed to the point that 2 of the walls were already bowing.
To remedy the issue, Evan and his team installed a set of GeoLock anchors. The outside of the bowed wall is excavated where a steel anchor is driven into the ground, and on the other side is a flat metal plate. The plate is bolted to the cracked wall and attached to the anchor on the other side. Once the pieces are aligned, the connecting screw is tighter till there is constant pressure being applied to the wall. The pressure corrects the wall and holds it in place, making it a permanent solution to Mr. Oshay's wall problem.

Mitchell realized his foundation was severely degrading. Cracks formed, and blocks from the block foundation were missing. Mitchell decided it was time to find a solution for his home and contacted Ayers. An Ayers specialist thoroughly inspected his home and concluded the foundation walls were bowing. GeoLock Wall Anchors were suggested to permanently stabilize the foundation. GeoLock Anchors utilize a base buried outside the basement for an anchor point. Additionally, a rod is drilled through the foundation wall and to the anchor point where it is connected, allowing the plate on the interior side of the wall to be attached. Once the anchor system is set up and secured, the system can be tightened. For Mitchell, the GeoLock Wall Anchor permanently stabilized his foundation!
