Fixing a Hidden Foundation Wall in Menasha, WI

Before

After

The best way to try and forget about a problem is to hide it. For homeowners in Menasha, WI their problem couldn't be hidden anymore. Their hanging ceilings had begun to move in due to the walls bowing in that they covered.

To fix the bowing walls, we installed 13 GeoLocks around their basement. GeoLocks will restrict the wall from bowing any farther, while also overtime can be tightened to help pull the wall back.

What's Hidden Can Never Be Hidden Forever

After

Homeowners in Menasha, WI after purchasing their new home, found out that the previous owner had covered up bowed foundation walls.

To resolve the problem, our team installed 6 GeoLocks on the foundation wall. These locks latch on to the hard compacted soil outside of the home. It then uses that compaction to pull the wall back to its upright position.

These homeowners were furious that they had to deal with these problems but after our team stepped in and helped, they couldn't be happier with the results.
