Cracks in a basement wall can be worrisome for any homeowner. Cracks give water a place to enter and can eventually lead to mold. They often form when you have a wall that is bowing. Thankfully for Lisa of Wentzville, MO her wall was able to be straightened through the use of our Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Cracks in basement walls can be a nightmare for any homeowner. They can give water a place to enter through and are typically the sign of a larger problem. When Eric. E noticed cracks on his Wentzville, MO basement walls he knew that he had to contact Woods Basement Systems.

Woods' team members were able to determine that the cracks had occurred due to a bowing wall of the basement. By installing Geo-Lock wall anchors from the bowing wall of the basement to the untouched soil of the earth. the walls will eventually straighten out and prevent any further cracks from occurring. 

Dawn and John K., Wentzville, Missouri homeowners, were troubled by their bowing foundation walls. System design specialist Brenton K. designed a solution to support their foundation.

Todd W., Woods Basement Systems foreman, installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. Geo-Lock is a permanent solution to bowing foundation walls. Dawn and John will no longer have to worry about their foundation.

Foundation wall issues can devalue a home and scare off potential buyers. Alice C. knew this from her experience as an agent so when she noticed cracks in the walls of a Wentzville, MO property she was selling, she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods determined the best solution would be to install Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors counteract the soil pressure that causes cracks in walls by connected steel wall plates on the inside of the foundation walls to earth anchors, which have been embedded in more stable soil in the yard, using galvanized steel anchor rods. The anchor rods are tightened to permanently stabilize the wall and prevent any future damage.

Cracks in foundation walls can be a sign that pressure from unstable soil on the outside of the wall is causing it to fail. Christina and James B. of Wentzville, IL had cracks in their foundation walls that they’d attempted to patch but the cracked had reopened and new ones formed so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed on the cracked walls. They counteract the pressure from the soil by connecting earth anchors embedded in more stable soil in the yard to wall plates on the inside of the foundation walls using galvanized steel anchor rods. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize foundation walls and can straighten the walls in most cases. As shown in the picture, the steel wall plates can also be covered with optional wall anchor covers.
