The Power of GeoLock Wall Anchors for Foundation Repair
When foundation walls start bowing, cracking, or tilting, the GeoLock Wall Anchor System from Foundation Supportworks offers a reliable and long-lasting solution. This innovative system stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to stronger, stable soil far from the home, effectively halting further wall movement. Over time, it can even straighten the wall. Unlike temporary fixes, GeoLock provides a permanent and versatile solution, working on walls made from poured concrete or concrete blocks.
How GeoLock Works:
- Installation: Steel anchors are embedded in the stable soil away from your home.
- Connection: A steel rod connects the anchor to a heavy-duty wall plate inside your foundation.
- Adjustment: The system can be tightened periodically to help straighten the wall over time.
Key Benefits of GeoLock:
- Stabilization: Prevents further inward movement of the wall.
- Wall Straightening: Potential to restore the wall to its original position.
- Versatility: Works on many types of foundation walls, including block, poured concrete, and clay.
The installation of GeoLock Wall Anchors is efficient and minimally disruptive. First, small holes are dug in stable soil outside your home, and steel anchors are placed in these spots. Inside your basement, a rod is drilled through the foundation wall and attached to the anchor, securing it to a steel plate mounted inside the wall. Once installed, the system can be tightened periodically to straighten the wall over time. This entire process requires minimal excavation and causes little disruption to your property.
GeoLock is a cost-effective, minimally invasive option that requires no excavation of your yard, making it a popular choice for homeowners looking to protect their foundation.
