Challenge

A homeowner in Brainerd, MN, noticed some of the walls in their basement were beginning to bow inward. Having a feeling this was not good for the foundation, the homeowner began searching for a solution. While searching, the homeowner came across our social media and was impressed by the quality of our previous jobs. Soon after, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the FREE estimate was made, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ian, to perform the appointment. After he arrived, Ian surveyed the basement and found that the south and east walls were suffering the most. Once Ian discovered the root of the issue, he suggested variations of a plan that would solve the stabilization issue.

Solution

After deliberation, the homeowners agreed with one of Ian's suggestions, and the plans were sent to the crew. Our Foreman, Kingsley, and his crew were assigned to complete the job. Once they arrived at the home, they started by prepping the east and south walls for the GeoLock installation. GeoLocks is our innovative wall anchor system that permanently stabilizes your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the untouched soil beyond your foundation. The crew installed five GeoLocks on the south wall and then installed six GeoLocks on the east wall. Once the GeoLocks were secured into place, the crew cleaned up the job site and left the home. The homeowner was very impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!
