Foundation Repair Photo Album: GeoLock Wall Anchor and SeantrySeal wall anchors
Wall anchors are devices consisting of strong galvanized steel tie rods that are embedded in the ground away from the foundation wall and are connected to steel wall plates with galvanized anchor rods.
This system is a long-term, efficient and economical solution. A particular advantage of this solution for foundation problems is that this system can tighten during periods of drought, allowing the improvement and straightening of the wall over time.

The wall anchor during the installation
During the installation, our team digs a hole in the ground away from the foundation and affixes an anchor of earth that is placed deep in the augur hole. The hole is backfilled once all components are installed.
Installation of steel rods
A steel rod is forced through a 1-inch hole in the wall of your basement and is connected to the earth anchor and wall anchor.
Installing the wall anchor
A discreet wall plate placed inside the wall of your basement is attached to the rod. Once all the components are connected and tightened, the wall is permanently stabilized.
Installation of the SentrySea membrane
In this project, we installed the SentrySeal Membrane, which is a rubberized, flexible, 60-mil thick membrane specifically designed to seal exterior concrete foundation walls. SentrySeal protects your foundation walls from external moisture and backfilling.
