Step Cracks in a Saginaw Basement

Mitchell noticed a large number of cracks on his basement brick walls. Not wanting to take any risks, he contacted Ayers. Upon arrival, our foreman Randy was able to listen to the home owner's concerns and inspect the area. He found bowing on many of the walls and prescribed GeoLock anchors to correct the problem.

 

GeoLock anchors are installed by digging out the soil outside of the cracked wall. A large metal anchor is secured in place and reburied. On the opposite side inside the home, a large metal plate is alined with the anchor and tightened till constant pressure pulls the wall back into place and permanently holds it there.

Dorothy worried the cracks in her foundation walls would continue to grow and deepen. She knew these cracks could lead to significant damage, so she called Ayers for help. We sent our experts to her home and installed the PowerBrace repair system to secure the wall and prevent further damage. PowerBraces are steel beams connected to joists above the wall with steel brackets. Dorothy feels much better with a permanently stabilized wall!

GeoLock Wall Anchors Save a Saginaw, MI Home

Mitchell realized his foundation was severely degrading. Cracks formed, and blocks from the block foundation were missing. Mitchell decided it was time to find a solution for his home and contacted Ayers. An Ayers specialist thoroughly inspected his home and concluded the foundation walls were bowing. GeoLock Wall Anchors were suggested to permanently stabilize the foundation. GeoLock Anchors utilize a base buried outside the basement for an anchor point. Additionally, a rod is drilled through the foundation wall and to the anchor point where it is connected, allowing the plate on the interior side of the wall to be attached. Once the anchor system is set up and secured, the system can be tightened. For Mitchell, the GeoLock Wall Anchor permanently stabilized his foundation!

Brandon noticed the walls outside his home were cracking, and he didn't want them to cave in, so he researched and called Ayers for help. Our crew of experts visited his home to assess the problem, and they recommended installing GeoLock wall anchors. The wall anchors are made of galvanized steel and fastened to the compromised wall. A ground anchor is placed away from the house in undisturbed soil and connected to the wall anchor by a steel rod. Brandon feels more comfortable knowing his wall is secure!
