Failing Basement Wall Fixed in La Crosse, WI

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, was in the process of remodeling his home when he tore out a large section of drywall and uncovered a large crack in his basement wall, which seemed to be bowing inward. The homeowner did some research on his own and wondered if foundation anchors would save the basement. The homeowner knew he was in over his head, so he took to the internet to search for 'residential foundation repair near me' and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Chuck H, was out at the home. 

Chuck performed his inspection and then met with the homeowner. He began by informing the homeowner that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not the side. So when the pressure on the side of the wall exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Chuck could tell the homeowner was growing uneasy with the diagnosis, so he quickly reassured the homeowner that we could help remedy the issue. He informed the homeowner that his assumption hadn't been far off and that he was recommending our GeoLock wall anchors. Chuck elaborated, stating that this innovative system works to counteract foundation failure by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation, permanently stabilizing your basement walls, and offering the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement. The homeowner was thrilled with Chuck's recommendation and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Victor S, and his team effortlessly installed 5 of our GeoLock anchors on the problem walls in the basement. Now, our customer can continue the remodel, knowing that their foundation will stand the test of time!
