Before & After Photos

Having foundation problems can be a frightening thing! The wall in the before photo is the result of soil expanding and putting added pressure, which in turn caused the wall to crack and buckle. Our design specialist, Corey Pylkas, recommended the Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors stabalize foundation walls by connecting two steel plates together with a galvanized steel rod. Based on the severity of the wall movement, excavation was recommended, allowing the wall to be immediately straightened.  

NBS was contacted by a concerned homeowner in Bessemer, MI.  This customer's foundation was severly compromised and the homeowner was concerned about total failure of her walls.  After a thorough inspection was performed, a plan to stabilize and straighten the foundation was drawn up.  To achieve stabilization NBS used Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.  To assure immediate straightening of the most affected wall seen in the before and after photos NBS excavated the exterior soil that was pushing this block wall in. The project was started in the late fall and completed in 2 days with minimal disruption to the property.
