Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A foundation was bowing inward in a basement in Glencoe, Mo, causing cracks to appear. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will remain stable and will restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was shifting and becoming unstable in Glencoe, MO, causing concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to provide strong support to the joints and protect the floor system's durability. This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!

A basement wall was becoming unstable in Glencoe, MO, causing concern. To solve this issue, the 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!

Now that a bowed wall is securely anchored, what are the options for finishing?

In an utility room like in this Pontoon Beach, Illinois home, the homeowners painted the foundation wall and added our Foundation Supportworks® anchor plate covers to cover up the wall anchors.

We use laser transits to determine how far a foundation wall is laterally moving inward.  We can measure the inside wall and look for other visible signs of this problem.  Typically, a poured foundation wall will tip in at the top of the foundation.  See the 2nd photo of the exterior space between the siding and foundation wall of this O'Fallon, Missouri foundation.  The Foundation SupportWorks® Geo-Lock™ wall anchors system solves this problem and is cost effective to do.
