Foundation Repair Photo Album: Retaining Wall Stabilization in Calgary, AB
This homeowner in Calgary, Alberta encountered issues with their garage retaining wall bowing inwards in sections, becoming a very dangerous problem. Looking for answers and a permanent solution, they contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
A System Design Specialist was able to assess their situation and provide this homeowner with a FREE, no obligation quote, and designed specific to address all of the their concerns. Our Production Team was then able to then come to the home to install our Foundation Supportworks Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor System. Heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors are embedded in stable, undisturbed soil outside of the retaining wall. Each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. This method also offers the potential straighten the wall back to its original position over time!
