External pressure from unstable soil conditions can damage foundation walls, causing tilting, bowing and cracking. Steve and Diana V. of Stewardson, IL noticed their foundation walls were tilting, cracking and causing damage to the finished walls above them so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.
Woods installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the cracked walls to counteract the external soil pressure. Then connected walls plates in the interior of the walls to earth anchors embedded in stable soil conditions in the yard with anchor rods. The walls are permanently stabilized and can even be straightened over time by tightening the anchors during dry periods.
