Cracking in Basement Walls

These cracks in the homeowner's walls were indicating future structural damage to come if not addressed.

GeoLock

GeoLock Wall Anchors are a proven solution for stabilizing bowing or buckling foundation walls. Installed in stable soil outside the home and connected to steel wall plates inside the basement, GeoLock anchors work by applying constant pressure to counteract soil movement and wall shifting. This system not only halts further wall movement but can also, in many cases, help straighten walls over time. Durable, low-profile, and minimally invasive, GeoLock offers long-term protection for your home's structural integrity.

Push Piers

Push Piers are an effective foundation repair solution for stabilizing and lifting settling or sinking homes. Installed deep into the ground, these steel piers are driven into stable bedrock or load-bearing soil to provide strong support. By transferring the weight of the structure to the solid foundation below, Push Piers can lift the home back to its original level, correcting uneven settling and preventing further damage. This durable and long-lasting solution restores your home's foundation, ensuring stability for years to come.
