Exterior Foundation Crack

There are many types of cracks, and it is important for you to understand what they mean for your home, as well as the best way to solve them. Vertical cracks are the most common and a sign of a settling foundation.

Another Vertical Foundation Crack

It is likely that there is a foundation problem if cracks have recently appeared, are growing, and are wide.

Diagonal Cracks

There is nothing good about foundation walls with diagonal cracks. You might have a problem with bowing walls if you notice this.

Interior Geo Lock Wall Plate

To secure the basement wall, an exterior anchor is installed deep in the soil and connected to a steel rod that is driven through a 1" hole in the basement wall. An interior wall plate is secured to the rod and placed against the foundation wall.

Geo Lock Wall Anchor - Interior

After the contractor and homeowner have tightened the system to their liking, the walls are permanently stabilized.
