This Taylor Ridge, IL, homeowner noticed that his basement walls had developed a significant crack through the center and began to bow inwards. Realizing how urgent of a situation this was, he decided to give MidAmerica Basement Systems a call. Our team swiftly addressed the situation and decided a GeoLock Wall Anchor System was the best course of action. This system will not only hold the walls in place but also has the potential return them to their original position overtime.
