This Perryville, Missouri basement featured a single badly cracked and slightly bowing wall. Although the problem wasn't affecting the entire basement, it was still very important to address it. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several GeoLock wall anchors to right the wall. These anchors are installed by drilling a long, steel rod about 10 feet out into the firmer surrounding soil and then attaching that rod to a plate on the surface of the wall. They are then adjusted to return the walls to level.
