Hydrostatic pressure from the earth on the other side of this foundation wall had applied enough pressure to cause vertical cracking along the basement wall.
Wall Anchors are a permanent solution to stabilize the foundation wall. The anchors use a threaded steel rod between two plates to apply pressure back against the foundation.
If this Hopkinsville family sells their home the nationally backed warranty is transferable to the new owner.
Desiree M. of Hopkinsville, KY, reached out to Frontier Foundation for a quote on repairing a basement and retaining wall. During the inspection, our design technician found the retaining wall leaning. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors with 12-inch by 28-inch wall supports were installed along the retaining wall to prevent further movement and provide long-term stability.
