Foundation Repair Photo Album: Stabilizing Cracked Basement Walls in Holt, MI

This Holt homeowner had cracks in his basement walls that had gotten so bad, you could see the cracks on the outside of the home. He needed a fix fast because the wall was bowing and had pipes on it. We installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System which is made up of galvanized steel providing a long-lasting solution that will prevent any further inward movement of your walls. The anchors work by extending from your wall to the stable, hard packed soil beyond the home. They anchor into the stronger soils and brace the foundation wall.
