After the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of our Design Specialist, Ryan. Ryan traveled home and began the detailed inspection of the interior and exterior foundation. During his inspection, Ryan discovered the walls were showing early signs of wall failure. To stop the wall failure from continuing, Ryan recommended installing several foundation repair products to ensure the wall failure stops. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Ryan's proposal. Next, Ryan passed the plans along to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team gave the final stamp of approval, then the proposal was sent to our Foreman, Jeremiah. Once Jeremiah and his crew received the proposal, they traveled to the home and started the project. First, Jeremiah and his crew began by installing GeoLock Wall Anchors. GeoLock Wall Anchors is our innovative wall anchoring system that permanently stabilizes your wall and has the potential to straighten it. After the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, the crew shifted their focus to installing CarbonArmor. CarbonArmor permanently stabilizes your foundation walls with fiber-reinforced polymers, which are ten times stronger than steel. After the products were secured, Jeremiah and his crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their foundation was no longer at risk of failing.
