Restoring Structural Stability with GeoLock Channel Anchor in Burtonsville, MD
Challenge
A homeowner in Burtonsville, MD, contacted NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair with a concerning problem—the exterior basement stairwell wall was bowing and showing visible cracks. Recognizing the potential dangers, the homeowner sought a long-term solution. The compromised wall not only threatened the stability of their home but also posed a safety risk to the occupants.
Solution
Our process began with a detailed inspection conducted by a member of our Sales team, who acted as a System Design Specialist. After a thorough assessment, the diagnosis was clear—the wall's structural integrity had been severely impacted, and immediate intervention was necessary. Our specialist identified soil pressure as the root cause of the bowing and cracking, which left the stairwell wall vulnerable to further damage.
To address the issue comprehensively, we recommended the installation of the GeoLock Channel Anchor system. This advanced system is specifically designed to stabilize walls by counteracting the pressure exerted by surrounding soil, halting further displacement and offering long-term support.
With the solution approved, our skilled production team, led by an experienced foreman, took charge of the installation. The crew meticulously executed the plan, leveraging their expertise to ensure the system was implemented with precision. Throughout the project, we prioritized efficiency and minimized disruption to the homeowner’s daily life.
