Failed Attempt at DIY Crack Sealing
As you can see, someone at some point attempted to seal this crack with a DIY product. And then the crack expanded and kept on leaking.
Exterior Foundation Cracks
This foundation is cracked all the way through, which is what leads to both the water problems and the bowing wall.
Cracks Encompasses Width of Wall
This crack takes up most of the width of the wall, traveling behind fixtures and resisting many attempts at repair.
Leaking Crack in Bowing Basement Wall
The point where the wall is bowed is also the biggest water entry point due to the severity of the wall crack.
Splintering Drywall in Basement
The drywall over the poured cement wall is all but obliterated here as the wall cracks and bows.
PowerBraces Provide Floor to Ceiling Security
PowerBraces are secured to the concrete floor and in the rim joist, ensuring that they're floor to ceiling stable.
PowerBraces Allow for Eventual Wall Straightening
When the PowerBraces are installed on a bowing wall, we include a kit that allows you to tighten them incrementally as the wall is stabilized, with the hope that they will eventually be straightened as much as possible.
Wall Anchors Prevent Collapse
Wall anchors are secured in outside soil to prevent further bowing of walls.
Wall Anchors in Virgin Soil
We anchor the wall anchors in undisturbed soil outside to provide extra strength and security.
Wall Anchors Stabilize Bowing Wall
By anchoring the wall to the stable soil outside, we can prevent it from bowing any further and, hopefully, straighten it over time.
Wall Anchor Covers Provide Finished Look
If your basement is finished or you just don't like the look of the wall anchors, we can install covers to hide the hardware.
NexusPro Joint Sealer Seals Wall Crack
With the walls stabilized, we can focus on sealing the leaking wall cracks. NexusPro fills the cracks where DIY hardware store methods fail.
NexusPro Keeps Leaking Cracks from Coming Back
It may look like poorly thought out graffiti, but what you see is actually the NexusPro sealer filling in the myriad of cracks on this wall.
