Geo-Lock Wall Anchors Permanently Stabilize Foundation Walls in De Soto, MO

The cement block foundation walls of Jolene B.’s De Soto, MO were bulging and tilting inward. Stair step and horizontal cracks had formed along the seams of the blocks and were allowing water to get in so Jolene called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along with a waterproofing system.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed along the cracked, bulging walls. They counteract the external soil pressure that damages walls. Galvanized steel anchor rods are driven through the walls and connected to steel earth anchors embedded in stable soil conditions in the yard. Steel wall plates are attached on the inside of the foundation walls and tightened into place. They permanently stabilize walls and can even straighten walls over time by tightening the anchors during dry periods.
