Foundation Repair Photo Album: Street Creep in Chesterfield, MO

Street creep is when the roadway in front of a driveway expands and the pressure forces the driveway to push the foundation wall into a basement. In this case, the foundation wall bowed outward for this walk-out basement home. Foundation SupportWorks® Geo-Lock™ wall anchoring system stops street creep from damaging a foundation wall. A nice feature too is the anchor covers for this exterior wall and galvanized anchor plates.
