Foundation Repair Photo Album: Wall Support with GeoLock
Homeowners Maurice and Charles M. of Granite City, Illinois were having problems with the foundation of their home. They had cracks growing on the foundation walls of their basement and had previously had them sealed up. Now, more cracks are growing after they thought the problem was solved. This time, they decided to give Woods Basement Systems a call.
Here at Woods, we know that sealing up foundation cracks is not going to solve the problem, and instead we need to install a support system, GeoLock. GeoLock is one of our foundation solutions, stabilizing and supporting the home easing up pressure on the foundation. Now the couple is finally happy knowing that their long-time foundation problem is solved.
