Foundation Repair Photo Album: Basement Wall Anchoring in Ballwin Missouri

Epoxy wall crack repair method is an extremely strong foundation wall crack repair method. Typically, this repair is very long lasting since it is stronger than the original concrete. However, the problem with epoxy repairs is its lack of flexibility. Hardly ever is the original crack a problem again but due to the lack of flexibility 2nd, 3rd and even 4th cracks appear on the repaired basement foundation wall. For the rear wall of this Ballwin Missouri home, 2 epoxy repaired cracks re-cracked but this was do to the force of the soil pushing inward on the wall. The backfill area along the rear wall exerted enough force inward to crack the rear wall almost the entire length of the wall. This force easily crack the epoxy wall crack repairs. We installed several Foundation SupportWorks GEO-Lock wall anchors to stop this force from moving or tipping this poured foundation wall in any further. This work comes with an written transferable warranty. As a time and expense savings for this Ballwin homeowner, we were able to extend the length of the basement wall anchoring rods to avoid disturbing the patio in the back yard. The homeowner saved the move and time of having the patio displaced and then reinstalled.
