Wall Anchors in Hamilton, MI

The homeowners had a bowing wall in their basement. Bowing walls are a sign of a serious foundation problem. Even though bowing is sometimes hard to spot, any amount of bowing in wall is an indication of a weakened structure. The biggest signs of a bowing wall are cracks in the wall, floors that are not level, doors, cabinets, or windows that do not shut properly, cracking in the upstairs plaster or drywall, or leaning of outside porches or chimneys. 

To combat this bowing wall our team decided to install GeoLock wall anchors. Galvanized steel earth anchors are embedded into the soil, out and away from the foundation wall. They are connected to steel wall plates with galvanized steel rods. Once installed, wall anchors will hold walls in their current position without any further adjustment. They can be tightened during dry periods allowing for improvement and straightening of the wall over time.
