A home in Caldwell, OH had bowing basement walls with cracks about 1 1/2-inch to 2-inch cracks, and water is coming in through them. He was concerned about the water and visual appeal of his home, but also the stability of his failing foundation walls. He called Ohio Basement Authority for help with all of these problems.

One of our certified inspectors visited the home to determine the best fix. He suggested performing an excavate and push, as well as installing wall anchors.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors are strong earth anchors which are embedded into undisturbed soil away from the foundation walls. These anchors are attached to steel wall plates with long, galvanized rods. These rods are tightened, which pulls the foundation toward its original state.

An excavate and push involves removing the soil around a home to expose the foundation walls, and physically pushing the walls into a more upright and stable position.

The homeowner agreed to have these things done. One of our expert installation crews came in and performed the excavate and push, as well as installed the Geo-Lock Anchors. The soil around the home was carefully re-filled, and these reliable repairs have stabilized these once leaking and cracked walls.

The homeowner is very happy with the results, and is no longer worried about the state of his home.
