This basement in Saint Peters, Missouri used to have bowing walls and water seepage. Since Woods installed wall anchors and reopaired the basement wall cracks, the walls are no longer bowing or leaking.
This St. Peters, Missouri home had bowing walls which can lead to wall cracks that allow water to seep into a basement. Woods Basement Systems installed wall anchors to return the walls to their original shape.
The leaking diagonal crack was the proof this St. Peters, Missouri homeowner needed to call a professional in to fix the bowing wall. They said the two cracks were there from the time they moved in but never leaked, even with all the rain in 2005. The wall shifted another 1/2 inch since then, so we installed our wall anchoring system to stop it from shifting.
Using a sealant to coat the inside basement walls in hoping that it will stop wall cracks from leaking may work for some time but will eventually need a more permanent wall crack repair, like the one we will installed in this St. Peters home. Our system is the longest lasting and best value that comes with a written transferable warranty!
Typically, floor cracks are the last part of the basement to leak; but with a crack this size, waterproofing it before finishing a basement is important. Also, for the size of this St. Peters, Missouri basement, we installed another sump pump in the opposite corner from the one put in at the time of construction.
