A homeowner from Plainview, MN, was down in her basement one day when she noticed some old cracks on the wall had begun to worsen. She was concerned about what the cracks worsening could mean. One of her close friends just so happened to be one of our Design Specialists, Darin S. She confided in him about her worries for her home, and he reassured her that he could assess the situation and see what could be done. 

On the day of her FREE inspection appointment, Darin made sure to do a thorough sweep through the basement, paying close attention to the cracks the homeowner was the most worried about. He informed her that foundation walls are designed to support loads from above, not the side. When the pressure on your walls exceeds their ability to withstand the force, they will begin to crack, bow, slide in at the bottom, and/or tilt inward at the top. Darin went on to say that while this information might seem daunting, he was confident that our GeoLock wall anchors were the correct choice to restore the wall. Wall anchors can counteract soil pressure by anchoring the wall to the stable, undisturbed soil beyond your home's foundation. Darin finished by saying that after the installation was complete, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position. The homeowner was thrilled with Darin's approach to the issue and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jesus C, led his team through a successful installation of 5 GeoLock anchors in the basement of the home. Now our customer is relieved knowing that her foundation worries are in the past!
