Ed is a contractor and he was working on a house in Grand Haven, MI when he came across cracked foundation walls that needed to be addressed. He called Ayers to come out for an inspection and get it fixed before he continued with the project. Our System Design Specialists decided to install our GeoLock Anchors to fix this issue.
Our GeoLock Anchors provide a long-lasting, trustworthy solution to wall cracks as they prevent any further inward wall movement. This product consists of three parts and the first being the interior anchor plate. This will sit on the inside of the foundation wall. Then a steel cable is drilled through the plate, the wall, and the soil to a predetermined distance from the house. The next step is anchoring another plate to the other end of the cable, in stable soil. These anchors will work together to ensure the wall doesn't bow further from soil pressure. By anchoring them in the stable soil as seen in the after picture, we can tighten them over time which will help straighten the wall.
Ed was grateful to have these foundation problems corrected before continuing his home project!
