Foundation Repair Photo Album: Stabilizing An Outside Wall In Champaign, IL
An exterior brick wall in Manchester, Missouri, had some stability issues. The wall can be seen starting to bow in from moving ground soils. To address this issue, Woods came out and installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. Heavy duty steel anchors are buried some ways away from the home and connected to the home using steel rods. These rods are then attached to steel wall plates that are placed directly on the wall. As the rods are tightened, they will pull the brick wall snugly back into place. With these wall anchors installed, the homeowners don't need to worry about their wall caving in!
