Solution

After Brady arrived, he began his thorough inspection of the basement and foundation. Brady discovered the foundation was showing signs of early failure and required permanent stabilization. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Brady's recommendations. Brady passed the plans to our office, so they could be finalized. Once they were approved, they were sent to our assigned crew to begin the project. The crew arrived at the home and started the project. First, the crew installed seven GeoLock Wall Anchors on the south foundation wall. GeoLocks Wall Anchors System Permanently stabilizes your foundation wall by anchoring it to hard-packed untouched soil beyond your foundation. Next, the crew shifted their focus to installing SilverGlo on the outside foundation. SilverGlo is an expanded polystyrene foam insulation that has been infused with graphite during its creation to improve insular ability. After the SilverGlo was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was thankful for the excellent work completed by the crew.
