Foundation Repair Photo Album: Wall repair in Hanson, KY.
These homeowners in Hanson Kentucky were suffering from a severe crack on the side of their home. It was a retaining wall, and they were concerned it could lead to lasting damage. They contacted Frontier Basement Systems for a free inspection and a design specialist was sent to their home. When side pressure on your walls exceeds their ability to withstand the force, they will begin to crack, bow, slide in at the bottom, and/or tilt in at the top. Wall anchors can counteract soil pressure by anchoring walls to stable, undisturbed soil outside your home. Thanks to threaded rods that extend through the wall, wall anchors can even be used to straighten walls in many cases!
