Geo-Lock Wall Anchors installed in Saint Charles, MO.

Cracks in foundation walls can be a sign that pressure from soil on the outside of the walls is causing them to weaken and bow. Don H. of St. Charles saw cracks forming on his walls and knew he needed to act fast so it wouldn’t become a major problem down the line. He called Woods Basement Systems for a free assessment. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed along the cracking walls. Wall plates on the inside of the walls were connected to earth anchors embedded in the yard by galvanized steel anchor rods. The anchors permanently stabilize the walls by counteracting the soil pressure. They prevent future wall damage and can straighten the walls over time by tightening the anchor rods during dry periods.
