Cable Lock™ ST Plus Foundation Repair Helps Reverse Cracks in Walls, Sticking Doors & Sagging Floors
For many years, the foundation repair industry has used steel piers or concrete pilings. Each type has its advantages.
The breakthrough Cable Lock™ ST Plus Foundation Repair System combines the strength and longevity of a concrete piling with the depth of a steel pier locked together with a Cable. The smaller diameter steel sections can go deeper, punching through harder clay and rocky soils. The larger concrete sections provide greater bearing area for a stronger repair. Plus the Cable locks the system together.
Cable Lock™ ST Plus System Advantages
The earth beneath your home consists of several layers or strata that have different compositions. Some consist of clay soils that shrink when dry and expand when wet. This causes stress on your foundation and often results in its downward movement. Cable Lock™ ST Plus is engineered for exactly these conditions.
