Retaining Wall Stabilization in Chatsworth, GA
Challenge
A homeowner in Chatsworth, GA, noticed significant cracking and bowing in their large retaining wall. Over time, the wall had started to lean outward due to lateral soil pressure and insufficient reinforcement. This posed a serious risk not only to the wall’s stability but also to the property and structures above it. If the home owners had not fixed this, the wall would have continued to break down, potentially leading to collapse and damage. The homeowner contacted Master Services for a permanent solution that would restore stability and protect the property from future movement.
Solution
Our team installed a series of GeoLock® Wall Anchors along the retaining wall. These anchors are designed to permanently stabilize walls by counteracting the external soil pressure that causes bowing and cracking. The installation involved placing steel earth anchors in stable soil away from the wall and connecting them to steel wall plates on the retaining wall’s surface.
Once tightened, the system immediately provided structural support and began straightening the wall. The process was minimally disruptive, required no excavation of the entire wall, and left the homeowner with peace of mind.
The results were clear: the retaining wall showed immediate signs of stabilization, and the cracks were no longer progressing. The homeowner can now rest assured that their wall is secure and protected for the long term.
