Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Paul from Granite City, Illinois had a cracked, bowed in foundation wall, so he decided to call Woods Basement Systems. Systems design specialist, Nolan M., recommended the installation of a Geo-Lock Anchor.

Foreman, Jeremy R., installed the product. The Geo-Lock Anchor is made of galvanized steel so is will not succumb to rust over time. The anchor is placed in the ground about 12 feet away from the home and is connected with steel rods. During dry seasons, the anchors can be tightened to restore a wall back to its original position. 

Now, Paul M. can sleep easy, knowing he has a stable foundation.
