Challenge

A homeowner in Hutchinson, MN, saw that the crack in their wall was quickly progressing and wanted it to stop. Unsure of who to go to for this issue, the homeowner began doing some research. While they were scrolling through social media, one of our digital advertisements caught the homeowner's attention. Impressed by the services we offer, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Eric. Once Eric arrived, he introduced himself to the homeowner and began his evaluation of the cracked wall. Eric discovered that the wall showed early signs of failure due to hydrostatic pressure. Eric recommended permanently stabilizing the cracked wall with GeoLocks, our innovative wall anchor system.

Solution

After weighing all their options, the homeowner agreed and production commenced. Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew received the plans and traveled to the home. To begin, the crew prepared the wall for the installation. The crew installed eight GeoLocks on the west basement wall. The GeoLocks will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to untouched soil beyond your foundation. In addition to the GeoLocks, the homeowner requested to have the tightening kit included. The tightening kit allows homeowners to gradually straighten their walls over time. After the GeoLocks were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowners were pleased with the excellent work completed by the crew.
