Foundation Repair Photo Album: Bowing Foundation in Saxon, WI Fixed with Wall Anchors

Owners of this 1979 home knew there was a foundation issue from day one. They noticed the bowing and cracked basement walls, and after learning about us in the Duluth News Tribune, they called to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate. DBS Design Specialist James Miller visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the basement wall repair. He recommended our GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System to stabilize and repair the shifting walls. DBS Foreman Nick Burley and his crew installed 9 Wall Plates on the inside of the home. These plates connect to earth anchors, situated in stable soil on the home exterior. Connected via long, galvanized threaded rods, the GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System is tightened with the goal of moving the foundation walls back to their original position.

Leaning Wall in Saxon, WI

Shown here is the bowing wall in Saxon, WI. Our team will stabilize the wall and install a system that can pull the wall to its original position over time.

Wall Anchors to Be Installed

Our team will install earth anchors, taking care of the basement wiring and utilities.

Wall Anchors Have a Low Profile

Our wall anchors take up very little space once installed and lie flat against the basement foundation walls.

Can Restore Wall Positions Over Time

Once tightened, the anchors will hold the wall securely in its current position without any further adjustment. A unique benefit of the system includes the ability to tighten the anchors during dry seasons, meaning you can improve and even completely straighten your walls over time.

Earth Anchors Install

Our foundation repair crew has dug a trench in the yard for the GeoLock™ Earth Anchors. These anchors connect to the Wall Plates inside the home and help pull the wall back into a vertical position.

Earth Anchors Positioned in Stable Soil

The earth anchors are installed in the ground away from the foundation. They are connected to the wall plates on the interior basement walls with long, galvanized steel rods.
