Installing a GeoLock Anchor in a Saginaw Basement

Mr. Oshay was looking to redo a fixer-upper. The boarded up windows were a sign to Mr. Oshay that he had his work cut out for him. When he invited our foreman Evan in for an inspection, Even noticed a large number of cracks in his basement brick walls. The Cracks had progressed to the point that 2 of the walls were already bowing.

To remedy the issue, Evan and his team installed a set of GeoLock anchors. The outside of the bowed wall is excavated where a steel anchor is driven into the ground, and on the other side is a flat metal plate. The plate is bolted to the cracked wall and attached to the anchor on the other side. Once the pieces are aligned, the connecting screw is tighter till there is constant pressure being applied to the wall. The pressure corrects the wall and holds it in place, making it a permanent solution to Mr. Oshay's wall problem.

TripleSafe Sump Pump Keeps Water Out of Saginaw, MI Basement Forever

Maria’s home was built in 1968, but her and her husband have been living there since 2018. The cinderblock foundation slowly allows water to seep in whenever there is heavy rain. They’ve had a few different companies come out to try and fix the problem, but none of their solutions have worked. Finally they found Ayers and we came out for an inspection. Our crew determined that Maria and her husband would need us to install a TripleSafe sump pump. 

The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. 

Maria and her husband were ecstatic that we were able to solve this problem for them. They can’t wait to finish the basement and add a bathroom now that the flooding is under control!
