Bowing Wall in Olney,IL
Andrew and Katia L. of Olney, IL knew it was time to find a solution to the bowing wall in their basement. The telltale sign of a bowing wall is the stair-step, diagonal cracks as well as the bulging appearance of the center of the wall. The best solution for this issue is the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors designed to permanently stabilize and restore the wall. The anchors work by securing steel rods to anchors placed in the ground outside of the home extending through the foundation wall and include a tightening kit.
