Basement in Okemos, MI In Need of Foundation Support

John and Suzanne found the foundation walls in their basement were beginning to bow in. They decided to call Ayers for a solution. A Specialist went out to inspect their home and determine a solution. The team at Ayers decided on Carbon Armor and GeoLock Wall Anchors. 

Carbon Armor is carbon straps that are stronger than both steel and concrete. Once the straps are fully epoxied to the wall, it will prevent any bowing in the wall. Carbon Armor is also attached to the top of the wall with a bracket system for extra reinforcement. In addition, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed; these wall anchors consist of a plate buried in the ground outside of the damaged wall. A steel rod is drilled through a small hole in the wall and into the anchor plate in the ground. Then, a plate is installed on the interior side of the wall and fasted to the rod to create a pulling pressure on the wall. The pulling force brings the wall back into place and stabilizes it over time.

These products will be perfect for the couple as they will no longer need to worry about bowing walls!
