This Alton, IL home was experiencing bowing in the concrete wall supporting its driveway. After a specialized consultation with Woods, our team determined that a wall anchor system would provide the best solution. The system works by installing a galvanized steel anchor deep underground, away from the wall, which connects to a steel rod running through the soil to the foundation wall. A plate is then secured to the interior of the wall, anchoring the rod in place. This method stabilizes the foundation, quickly addressing the wall failure while providing long-lasting, reliable results.
