Bowing Walls & Leaking Basement in Harrisburg, IL

Our client has lived in their home in Harrisburg, IL for the past 10 years. And for the last 5 years, they started noticing horizontal-stair-step cracking in their basement wall, along with a portion of the wall beginning to bow. They would also get water coming in where the floor and the wall meet. Wanting to use their basement more for storage, they were worried that their belongings would get ruined the next rainfall. After searching online, they came across work Healthy Spaces had previously done in Harrisburg, IL, so they gave us a call for a free inspection!

Our team installed 4 GeoLock Wall Anchors in their basement wall, along with a full perimeter drainage system that directs water to the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our GeoLock Wall Anchors will permanently stabilize their foundation walls by installing earth anchors that are embedded in stable, undisturbed soil outside your foundation wall. Each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides pressure against the foundation wall, preventing it from further damage. Over time you can tighten them, allowing you the potential to straighten the wall back to its original position. Our client now has peace of mind that their foundation is safe, and their important items are saved from any future rainfall.
