Failing Basement Wall Stabilized in Godfrey, IL

Homeowners in Godfrey, IL had cracks forming on the walls of their basement indicating signs of wall failure. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!

Settling Foundation Lifted in O'Fallon, MO

This O'Fallon, Missouri garage started settling due to the extreme hot temperatures drying out the supporting soils under the shallower footing that only needs to be below the frost line compared to the deeper foundation of a basement.  We installed several push piers in the interior of the garage to help save the homeowner's landscaping.  We were able to do so since the homeowner acted quickly to get the repairs completed before further settling rotated the foundation outward.  If that had occurred, we would have to install the piers on the outside of the foundation to help rotate the foundation back... and then the landscaping would have needed to be replaced too, adding to the overall cost of this project.
