Photo Album: Geo-Lock Wall Anchors Save Greenville, MI Foundation

Our customer called with a wood foundation basement problem. He was selling his home and the inspection found that a 15 foot long wall was bowing about an inch. This caused the sale to fall through and he needed help fixing the problem so he could put the house back on the market. Using our Geo-Lock Anchor System, we were able to straighten and secure the wall to prevent further bowing by anchoring it into the earth outside of the home.

Bowing Wall in Greenville, MI Basement

It's difficult to tell in this photo, but the wall on the right is bowing out as much as one inch.

See it now? Look at the position of the wall in relation to the trip on the closet door. It pushes out (bows) in the middle, which causes the top and bottom to appear pulled away. Walls can only take strain like this for so long before they collapse and you have a new walk-out basement.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System Secures Bowing Wall

Here, a Geo-Lock Channel Anchor is placed at the point of pressure causing the wall to bow.

The anchor covers the entire width of the wall. It will be secured into the soil outside and tightened, which will straighten the wall and secure it against future bowing.
