Photo Album: Stair-step cracking in Poseyville, IN

In Poseyville, IN, a homeowner contacted us, wanting to inspect their basement wall. Upon further inspection, stairstep cracking was visible on the outside of the basement wall. Stair-step cracking means that wall failure is increasingly getting worse. As the wall bows more severely in the middle, the corners are held up by adjacent walls, creating the stairstep cracking effect.  To reverse the stair-step cracking issue, the GeoLock Wall Anchor system is set. For a wall anchor system to work effectively, access of at least several feet is needed on the outside of your home.  A silver rod is drilled through the one-inch hole in the basement wall and is connected to the anchor seated deep within the hole. Once all the components of the wall anchor system are connected and tightened, your basement wall is permanently stabilized.
