Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Wall Repair in Sullivan, NH

A homeowner in Sullivan, NH, faced a significant challenge with a severely bowing cinderblock foundation wall, which was collapsing 5 inches inward with large horizontal and stair-step cracks. Notice in the before photo the extent of the damage, indicating imminent failure. We expertly installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System to effectively and swiftly secure and straighten the wall. As shown in the after photo, our solution not only stabilized the foundation but also restored the home's structural integrity.

Failing Foundation Wall

The block foundation wall exhibited significant structural failure, characterized by pronounced inward bowing and the presence of horizontal and stairstep cracks. The previously installed I-beams, implemented by another contractor, proved inadequate in stabilizing the wall. Consequently, a more comprehensive and robust solution was necessary to ensure the basement's structural integrity.

GeoLock Excavation

A section distant from the home's foundation was excavated to create the necessary space for the installation of the GeoLock Wall Anchor system.

GeoLock Rod Cored Through Foundation Wall

Galvanized steel rods were cored through the foundation wall to the area that was excavated.

GeoLock Rods

A total of seven GeoLocks were installed to stabilize the entire foundation wall.

GeoLock Anchors

Upon the rods' entry into the excavated area, the GeoLock Anchors were affixed to them and subsequently secured to stable soil.

GeoLock Plates

GeoLock plates were subsequently installed on the interior side of the foundation wall and tightened. This process not only stabilized the foundation wall but also corrected the 5-inch bowing that the wall had been experiencing.

GeoLock Aesthetic Covers

GeoLock Aesthetic Covers were subsequently placed over the GeoLock plates, enhancing the visual appeal of the basement's interior.

GeoLock Backfill

Following the successful installation of our GeoLock Wall Anchor system, the excavated area was backfilled. Our crew takes great pride in meticulously ensuring the work area is left as clean as possible.
