Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Repair in Chapel Hill, TN

This customer in Chapel Hill, TN had foundation settlement issues in his basement. The walls were cracking, bowing, and tilting. Foundation walls are designed to support loads from above, not from the side. When side pressure on your walls exceeds their ability to withstand the force, they will begin to crack, bow, slide in at the bottom, and/or tilt in at the top.    Rebuilding damaged walls may seem like the obvious (and expensive) answer, but even new walls will fail if the soil conditions are not changed. Wall anchors can counteract soil pressure by anchoring walls to stable, undisturbed soil outside your home. Thanks to threaded rods that extend through the wall, wall anchors can even be used to straighten walls. To fix this issue we installed a Wall Anchor System. This included Geo-Lock Wall Anchors as indicated using a 5 ft channel wall support and small earth anchors. This will permanently stabilize his base walls and stop any further damage to the home.
