Wall Anchors Installed in Eldridge, IA
Challenge
For a homeowner in Eldridge, IA, the signs of structural failure became impossible to ignore. Large cracks had developed along the foundation wall, signaling that external pressures were pushing on the wall. This was not merely a cosmetic issue, it was a reality that compromised the structural integrity and safety of the entire home. The homeowner realized that a temporary fix would not suffice. The situation required a definitive, permanent solution to stabilize the home and prevent wall failure. Seeking expertise and reliability, they contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to assess the damage and restore their confidence in the property.
After a thorough inspection, MidAmerica Basement Systems identified the root cause: external soil pressure was forcing the foundation walls to bow and crack.
Solution
To combat this damage and provide a lasting stabilization, we deployed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. This solution offered a dual benefit: addressing the immediate structural failure while actively protecting against future soil pressure. By anchoring the foundation walls to stable, undisturbed soil, the system permanently halted the inward movement that caused the cracks. This approach ensures that the foundation was physically secured against the forces of nature, rather than simply covering up the symptoms of the problem.
