This basement wall has developed a large horizontal crack—a common sign of bowing due to external soil pressure. As the foundation walls weaken, they start to push inward, compromising the home's structural integrity. Without reinforcement, the wall could continue to bow and eventually fail. Our team installed static beams to stabilize the wall and prevent further movement, ensuring the long-term safety of this home.
For wall cracks, we start by sealing the crack with a high-viscosity polyurethane polymer. This gets deep in the cracks to form a durable, flexible seal. To keep your foundation walls looking great, we overlay your sealed wall crack with a polyurethane sealant. Light gray in color, it gives the repair a professional, finished appearance.
