Tom from Center City, MN was starting to notice cracks forming in his block foundation, which appeared to be worsening over time. tom was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he could run the risk of the problem worsening, creating a large, and more hazardous issue later. After doing some research, he came across our company. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free, no-obligation estimate by a member of our Design Specialist team. A few weeks after the appointment was set, our Design Specialist headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once he had completed his walkthrough, he recommended our GeoLock wall anchors to fix the issue. Our Salesman explained to Tom that the GeoLock anchors are the preferred method of straightening as they extend out to the stable, hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation, anchoring themselves there and bracing the foundation wall, effectively pulling the wall back into place.  Tom agreed with the recommendation and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Jose C, and his team ended up installing 12 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the basement. Once the project was complete, Tom was happy to know that he no longer needed to worry about his cracked foundation!
