Old Basement Space Supported in Medina, ND

Laura, a homeowner in Medina, ND, was worried about the state of her basement. Living in an older home, she noticed signs of water intrusion and potential foundation issues. She feared she would risk compromising the home's structural integrity if she left the issue unresolved. When she called in, we set her up with a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he recommended how we could help. Laura was confident in the plan, and an installation date was set.

The plan was to use our GeoLock Wall Anchors to correct the issue. This innovative system permanently stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. Additionally, the anchors can be tightened over time. 

Our Foreman, Tanner, and his crew installed 18 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement; five each on the East and West sides, and four each on the North and South sides. When the work was done, Laura was happy to know that her basement walls were no longer an issue.
