Before & After Photos

This heavy retaining wall in Downington, PA was bowing and tipping over, and we knew that the GeoLock Wall Anchors were the best solution for the problem. When the GeoLock system is installed, a hole is drilled into the bowing wall in predetermined intervals, depending on the number of anchors needed. One anchor plate is then attached to the interior and exterior sides of the wall, lining up with the predrilled hole, and one end of a 9-foot galvanized threaded rod is then inserted through the hole and anchor plates until the rod protrudes slightly out of the interior wall. An anchor bolt is then screwed onto that protruding end. The other end of the rod attaches to a heavy-duty earth anchor, which gets embedded into firm, stable soil away from the foundation. Once everything is in place, the anchor bolt is tightened, and the reverse pressure pulls the wall back toward its original position. At this point, the wall is stabilized and secure and no further adjustments are necessary. However, gradual tightening of the anchor bolt will continue to adjust the wall and over time, may even straighten it completely. This home in Elkton needed 10 anchors to repair the wall, and we were able to straighten it completely in one day. The GeoLock wall anchors are guaranteed for a period of 25 years.

Over time, the homeowner in Downingtown, PA, observed cracks and bowing in the walls of their garage, raising concerns about potential structural deterioration. After our team conducted a thorough inspection of the area, they assessed the cause of the weakened walls and determined the most effective repair solution. Our crew then installed the ultra-stabilizing PowerBrace Wall Repair System, successfully restoring the bowing and cracked wall to its original straightened position. The garage wall is now fully reinforced, providing the homeowner with complete peace of mind.

We recently helped a homeowner in Newark, DE, who was struggling with basement waterproofing issues. After heavy rainfall, their existing French drain system failed to keep up with the water. Our solution included installing WaterGuard, an interior drainage system designed to catch water before it reaches the floor. To complement this, we also installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump, providing triple-layer protection to keep the basement dry, no matter the weather.
