The Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System

The Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System is the best solution for bending or bowing basement walls. They permanently stabilize your home and even attempt to straighten the walls over time.  Even though the installation is done from both the interior and exterior, no heavy equipment is required inside the home, making this the quickest and most efficient solution.

First, a small hole is drilled in the foundation wall on the interior of the basement.  This hole is easy to seal after installation is complete because it is so small, so water leaking in is not a problem.  Sod is removed around the perimeter and a hole is dug in stable soil outside of the home.  A ¾” galvanized steel rod is then driven through the wall from the inside and out into the hole.  A galvanized Geo-Lock wall anchor is placed over the hole and is connected to the steel rod.  On the inside of the home, a heavy-duty wall plate is installed over the steel rod.

The wall plates are specifically engineered to make contact with 8 of the concrete blocks on the foundation wall in order to distribute holding forces effectively.  Also, the wall plates are 14 ½” wide so they fit on a 16” center stud in a standard basement.  Installation is completed by replacing the dirt and sod and tightening the system.  Geo-Lock Wall Anchors provide the best opportunity to permanently solve the problem and possibly improve the walls over time.
