This Hecker, Illinois basement's concrete-block walls were cracking quite badly and beginning to slightly bow inward. The homeowner was very concerned that the damage would get worse if allowed to continue unaddressed, and she was worried about a total wall collapse.

In order to stabilize and support the walls, foreman Jeremy and his team installed several GeoLock wall supports. These work by attaching a heavy anchor buried deep in the firm soil far away from the foundation to a steel plate affixed to the interior surface of the basement wall, effectively pulling the wall outward and preventing further cracking. The homeowner can rest easy now that her walls are totally supported!
