Foundation Repair Photo Album: Geo-Lock Wall Anchor in Roodhouse, IL
The walls in this house developed a curve to them. The soil of the outside of the outside was creating a lot of pressure against the walls. The only thing the walls could do to relieve this pressure was to bow inward. Clearly this wasn't good for the home, so Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed to straighten out the walls and stop the bowing.
