Geo-Lock Wall Anchors Placed at 9 Feet
The beginning of the Geo-Lock wall anchor placement involves drilling into the wall to anchor the brace. We placed the anchors at nine feet, as shown by one of our crew members standing underneath.
A Crack in the Block Wall is a Sign of Foundation Problems
This type of crack - where it looks like the blocks are separating - is indicative of a foundation problem. Pier installation is a good choice to stabilize the foundation and stop it from sinking further.

Helical Piers are Installed to Stabilize Foundation
Here, holes are drilled to drop helical piers into the ground at the edge of the foundation. By bearing the weight of the slab (instead of the surrounding soil) the piers keep the foundation from sinking further.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors are Installed to Stabilize Walls
A total of 48 Geo-Lock wall anchors wee installed around the perimeter of the wall. With the helical piers working to prevent the foundation from settling further, and the wall anchors stabilizing and strengthening the walls, the building should be safe.
