Failing Retaining Wall Supported In Coopersville, MI

These homeowners had a poured concrete retaining wall along the side of a basement entrance. The wall had a large crack in it and was starting to lean. That was no problem for out foundation repair crews. We installed three GeoLock wall anchors along the wall to permanently support the structure. These wall anchors consist of large steel wall plates that connect to GeoLock earth anchors buried in the ground out away from the wall with the help of a long steel rod. This prevents further leaning and provides a unique opportunity to improve the condition of the wall over time as the system is tightened, mainly during dry periods. This retaining wall should continue to stand upright and reliable for many many years to come.
