A foundation was becoming unstable in Salem, IL, causing cracks to appear. 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!

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.
