Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner contacted DBS after having piers installed earlier this year, expressing concern about further outward bowing of the wall. When our Design Specialist went out to the property, they recommended placing 5 GeoLocks® in the ground outside of the sinking wall to help stabilize the wall by providing GeoLocks® are specifically designed ground stabilization systems engineered to enhance the stability of structures, particularly in areas prone to soil movement or subsidence. By strategically placing five GeoLocks® around the sinking wall perimeter, the structural integrity can be significantly improved. These GeoLocks® act as anchors, penetrating deep into the ground to create a secure foundation, effectively counteracting any potential forces that may cause the wall to shift or sink further.
