GeoLock™ Earth Anchors Repair Cracking Foundation in Kettle River, MN

Homeowners of a 1960's home in Kettle River, MN contacted DBS in need of a permanent solution for their garage foundation. As seen in the before photo, the foundation was cracking and shifting, causing issues for the concrete slab below it and the structural integrity of the entire building. 

After hearing about us on local radio, they called DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate with our Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder. He diagnosed the foundation and concrete issues in the garage and designed a custom solution for the homeowners.

Foreman Nick Burley and his crew installed 4 GeoLock™ Wall Plates and Earth Anchors to the failing foundation wall. This system uses heavy-duty anchors and connects them to plates on the wall interior wall. Connected with long, galvanized rods, these anchors are tightened to straighten the wall over time and provide maximum support. 

Our concrete repair crew applied a sealant to the concrete garage slab, as well as NexusPro™, a silicone product that expands to fill and seal cracks.

The customer was happy with the work done and now had a permanent solution they can count on for years to come.
