Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wall Repair in Nashville, TN

A customer in Nashville, TN had failing foundation walls. We were able to come in and install GeoLock 12 in X 28 in Wall Plates and Small Earth Anchors to secure the structure and prevent further deterioration. The design specialists will look at the failing wall and take some measurements. Those measurements are plugged into a product load calculator which will determine how far apart each plate should be to distribute the load and the distance necessary near corners. This ensures that the correct amount of anchors are used to permanently stabilize the wall providing negative pressure against the wall.

Cracking on the interior basement walls is a clear indication of shifting and settling which is leading to complete wall failure. Considering this is on the entire back basement wall along the length of the home, this is a major issue we need to have addressed.
