Securing the Basement in Tompkinsville, KY

Thursday, August 3rd, 2017 by Sophie Rice

Challenge

Cracks and moving basement walls pushed this family to obtain a second opinion on what the best solution to fix these issues permanently.

Solution

Any bowed or cracked walls are dangerously unstable and as this basement is being used as an additional bedroom it was imperative that the proper solution was installed immediately. This was to install Wall Anchors, which can be installed into a small excavated hole in proximity to the foundation and stabilize the wall by transferring the weight to the bearing surface of the steel plate.
