For us at NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, another day’s work meant another satisfied customer and a job well done. It's just what we do.

A customer approached us with worries regarding their home's foundation, which was constructed from poured concrete. Over the past year, they had noticed unsettling horizontal cracks beginning to form along the structure. Understanding the potential risks and severity of foundation issues, we dispatched our technical advisor to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the property.

Upon arrival, our advisor meticulously inspected the foundation, carefully noting the extent and nature of the cracking. It was clear that immediate action was necessary to prevent further damage and ensure the structural integrity of the home. After considering various remediation strategies, the decision was made to implement a solution that would not only address the current damage but also offer long-term stability.

The proposed remedy involved the installation of seven Geo-Lock Anchors. These state-of-the-art anchoring systems are specifically designed for situations like this, providing the necessary support to counteract the forces causing the wall to bow and crack. The Geo-Lock Anchors work by extending deep into the stable soil beyond the affected wall, anchoring the foundation securely. Over time, the tension can be adjusted to gradually straighten the compromised wall, restoring it to its original position.

This approach offered several benefits. Not only would it stabilize the foundation, preventing further deterioration, but it also provided a non-invasive method of correcting the issue without the need for extensive excavation or disruption to the homeowner's daily life. Additionally, the use of Geo-Lock Anchors meant that the solution was both durable and adaptable, capable of adjusting to the home's needs over time.

The customer was relieved to have a clear path forward and appreciated the thoroughness of our investigation and the tailored solution we provided. With the Geo-Lock Anchors in place, they could rest assured knowing their home's foundation was secure and that the horizontal cracks would be addressed in a controlled and effective manner, safeguarding their home for years to come.

A home in Burke, Virginia had severe wall failure in the CMU foundation walls. The homeowners had several bowing walls and horizontal cracks along the foundation walls. After having a professional inspection, they decided to brace and straighten their walls back to their original position. The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors achieved this by installing plates on the interior of foundation walls and in the exterior grade several feet away from the home. The foundation walls are now straightened and secured for this homeowner to finish the basement.
