Foundation Repair Photo Album: Bowing Wall - Forest, VA

This homeowner in Forest, VA began to notice an issue with the foundation wall in the home. The wall appeared to bow inward. After calling Fortress our System Designer, was able to go out to this home and provide an estimate. Our System Designer found the best solution would be our Geo Lock Wall system. Our Superintendent, Bobby and his crew installed this system.

Before

This photo shows before the crew started work. This photo does not show the bow that the foundation was facing. The issue was apparent when a lazar level was placed on the wall.

Excavation

In this photo you can see the crew has dug away from the foundation. The reason for this is to dig a "trench" install the rods that are apart of the GeoLocks.

Inside

This photo shows when the crew installed the rods to the inside. These rods will be tightened once they are in place.

GeoLock

This photo shows after the system is in place. The anchors on the inside of the home will have covers over them so the wall is not an eyesore.

After

This photo shows the final work on the inside of the home. The crew added overs to the GeoLocks.

Back Fill

After the crew finished with the outside porton that was dug out, the crew back fills in the soil that was removed and covers the area with grass seed and hay to help the grass grow back.
