Bowing Walls Repaired in Hagerstown, Maryland
Challenge
Violet in Hagerstown, Maryland had noticed movement in one of her basement walls and wanted to make sure the problem didn't turn into something more serious. As the wall began showing signs of inward bowing, it was clear that pressure from the soil outside the home was putting stress on the foundation. Violet reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to get the issue properly evaluated and find a long-term solution.
Solution
After inspecting the basement, our team recommended GeoLock® Wall Anchors to stabilize the affected wall and help prevent further movement. We installed 11 GeoLock® Wall Anchors along the wall. The anchors extend through the foundation and into stable soil outside the home, helping counteract the pressure pushing against the wall and providing strong, lasting support.
