Bowing Walls Prove Troublesome for Decatur, IL Homeowner

A client contacted Helitech with a basement wall problem at his home in Decatur, IL. The client explained he had an extreme foundation problem on his north wall. Upon inspection, it was noticed that the basement wall was leaning in 3” from the top and was binding his gas line. Bowing wall solutions can become costly if the wrong contractor is hired.

Helitech’s solution to save the client’s wall was the use of A.B. Chance helical anchors. The wall had to be dug out on the outside of the home and straightened in order to allow the rotation of the basement wall back to structural integrity.

After installation of the A.B. Chance helical anchors, Helitech cleaned the exterior basement wall and applied a spray-membrane to prevent water seepage through the cracks and cold joints.

The client and his wife were ecstatic with the work Helitech did in order to save the value of their home. The client said, “I have never seen a crew work as hard as they did”. This home was truly healed by Helitech!

I have a big project to do on my foundation. Mark came out and spent a lot of time discussing the job, and the solution to the problem. Then came back out once the plan was finalized and walked us through financing and getting us hooked up with a liason who will provide the ongoing details of the project. I am looking forward to finally getting this big job done and I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders already. A big thanks to Mark!

Job is now completed and the WHOLE crew is amazing. From scheduling with Ashley, the foremans Alex and Mike, and Mark showing up on day one to go over everything before we started, I couldn’t be more pleased. These guys work like horses, I couldn’t believe the progress each day! So glad to have had you all work on my little old farmhouse, it’ll be good for another 100 years. May you all be blessed with strong hands and safe work all your days
