Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Geo-Lock Wall Anchors and Waterproofing System in Granite City, IL
Todd and Deena W., Granite City, Illinois homeowners, were troubled by their failing foundation and wet basement. Water leaked into the basement where the floor meets the wall. Increased water pressure in the soil caused the block foundation to bow inward. After inspecting the foundation and basement, a system design specialist designed a solution to restore the basement and foundation.
To waterproof the basement, WaterGuard was installed. WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage system that collects and guides water to the Twin Pack sump pump system. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed to restore and support the foundation. Geo-Lock is installed into undisturbed soil, providing a long-lasting solution. Todd and Deena's foundation and basement are now safe.
