Bowing Basement Wall Stabilized in La Crosse, WI

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, was worried about his basement. One of his foundation walls had a large crack running lengthwise on the wall. He was worried that if he let the issue worsen, it might compromise the structural integrity of the home. He decided to look for foundation repair Wisconsin, and quickly found our website. He set up his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac C, was out at the home. 

After Mac concluded his estimate inspection, he met with the homeowner and informed him that he was experiencing foundation issues because the wall was facing pressure from the side. Foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from the top, not the side.  When the pressure becomes too much for the wall to withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Mac went on to reassure the homeowner that there was a solution: our GeoLock anchors. This innovative system counteracts the pressure on the wall by anchoring it to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. The homeowner was thrilled with Mac's solution and scheduled the job to be installed the following month. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman and his team successfully installed 7+ GeoLock anchors in the space Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing his basement walls aren't going anywhere!
