Photo Album: Foundation Walls Falling In

Terry P. had foundation walls that were in serious trouble. Pressure from the surrounding soils had begun to push the foundation walls inward, bowing them right were they met with the brick walls above. Cracks began to form in the foundation walls and they began to seperate from the walls above. If nothing was done, the foundation walls could collapse in, leaving the entire home in serious jeopardy.   Rather than wait for his home to fall apart, Terry turned to Jeremy R. from Woods Basement Systems who knew exactly what to do. Jeremy installed a series of GeoLock™ wall anchors through the damaged walls. Wall anchors use a plate fastened to the inside of the wall and a plate buried in the ground outside the wall to strengthen the failing walls. The system can even be used to pull the wall back into a straightened position!    Instead of replacing his entire foundation, Terry P. used wall anchors to permanently support his failing walls. Now he can even straigthen the walls back to their original position over time.
