Challenge

A homeowner in Dayton, MN, was concerned that his bowing wall would worsen and permanently damage his home. He decided to look into foundation repair in the area and found our website. After browsing our website, he was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule his FREE estimate.

Solution

One of our Design Specialists arrived at the home in a couple of weeks to assess the basement. He explained to the homeowner that it was good that he contacted us immediately and did not wait until the issue worsened. As our Design Specialist was inspecting the basement, he noticed that it was only bowing on one wall, so he listed out the best solution for the homeowner that was within their budget. He recommended installing our GeoLock wall anchors to stabilize the wall permanently and explained that they can be tightened to straighten walls over time. The homeowner happily agreed to his suggestion and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Victor S., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 5 GeoLocks and began by digging a hole several feet away from the foundation. Then, the earth anchor is placed and attached to the interior wall. Both anchors are connected by a small steel pole that would run through the ground. Once the crew was done with the installation, they covered up the hole, cleaned up their equipment, and left the home.
