Foundation Repair in Hollywood, MD
Challenge
A homeowner in Hollywood, MD, grew concerned after discovering significant stair-step cracks forming along their basement's block foundation wall. These cracks were a clear indicator of foundation settlement, a serious structural issue. Making matters worse, additional cracks were visible around most of the foundation, allowing water intrusion into the basement. This combination of structural movement and moisture created a risk of further damage, mold growth, and a compromised living space. The homeowner needed a professional solution to address both the failing wall and the persistent water leaks.
Solution
Our team conducted a thorough inspection to diagnose the full extent of the problem. To provide a permanent fix, we installed our industry-leading Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor System. These heavy-duty steel anchors were embedded in stable soil away from the foundation and connected to plates on the inside of the wall. This setup immediately began the wall stabilization process, halting any further inward movement. Over time, the system allows for the gradual straightening of the wall, returning it toward its original position. We also sealed the cracks to prevent future water intrusion. This comprehensive Maryland foundation repair not only secured the home's structural integrity but also provided the homeowner with a dry, stable basement and lasting peace of mind.
