Foundation Repair Photo Album: Springfield, IL Wall Anchor Installation

This Springfield, IL resident had large cracks in her basement walls and discovered that the walls had begun to bow slightly. She had been putting the problem off for years, but finally decided to get it permanently solved when the cracks became larger. Woods Basement Systems solved this homeowner’s problem by installing a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor system by Foundation SupportWorks.

Wall Crack

Wall cracks are an indicator of foundation settlement. Push piers can solve this problem for homeowners.

Wall Anchor

Heavy-duty steel anchors are installed in the soil out and away from the home.

Galvanized Steel Rods

The anchors are attached to the wall plates on the interior of the walls with long galvanized steel rods.

Wall Anchors

Wall anchors are the best solution for cracked or bowing walls. They stabilize the walls and provide the best opportunity to straighten them over time.

Straightening of Basement Walls

A unique feature of the Geo-Lock system is the ability to tighten the anchors when the soil around the home shrinks during dry periods. This enables the possible straightening of the basement wall.
