Stabilizing A Home In Goreville, IL

A home in Goreville, Illinois, had some exterior cracking foundation walls that needed to be addressed. This is most likely caused by sinking and moving ground soils as they heat and cool over time. To remedy this issue, Woods came in and installed new wall supports to close up those cracks. With the GeoLock Anchor System, heavy duty steel anchors are buried some ways away from the home and connected to the home using steel rods. These rods are then attach to steel wall plates that are placed directly on the wall. As the rods are tightened, they pull the wall back into place. This system can be tightened over time as well, allowing easy maintenance to be done without any more costly installs. With these GeoLocks in place, this home is sure to remain stable for decades to come.
