Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Julie & Brad of Wrightstown, WI noticed a crack in one of their basement walls.  After further inspection, they also noticed that the wall was bowing in.  What was causing this? 

Foundation walls move inward primarily due to expansive soils and hydrostatic pressure on the walls from outside. However, foundation walls may also crack due to many other outside causes, including foundation settlement. Our foundation experts will accurately identify the cause of your home's foundation problems.  In Julie and Brad's case, the wet, expansive soil around the home's foundation was pushing on the wall, causing the bowing and cracking.  

Sure-Dry Basement Systems was able to restore Julie & Brad's piece of mind with their GeoLock Wall Anchor System.  The Supportworks Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor System permanently stabilizes your basement walls, offering the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement.  Heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors are embedded in stable, undisturbed soil outside your foundation wall. Each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. This method also offers the potential to straighten the wall back to its original position.

At Sure-Dry Basement Systems we can fix foundation issues related to bowing, buckling basement walls of all types. Our wall anchor systems include a 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects, as well as a performance warranty from us.
