Real Estate professionals tell us that today, more than ever, it is difficult to sell a home with a structural foundation problem. Left untreated, a home's value may have to be discounted significantly to sell, often by much more than the cost of Foundation Supportworks wall anchor system. Therefore, in most cases, you are saving money by addressing your foundation problem now--it's fixed in one day!
There are a number of potential causes of cracked and bowing foundation walls, the most common reason is pressure from the soil near the outside of the wall. When clay soils get wet, they expand and put pressure on the wall. When the force exceeds the strength of the wall, the wall cracks or breaks. This reduces the structural integrity of the wall, and when the wetting cycle is repeated, this causes further weakening and inward movement.
Other factors include heavy rains, causing hydrostatic pressure, and other structures like driveways and porches, putting pressure on the wall, large tree roots, expansion due to frost, and poor grading.
There are several options for repair, many that are less desirable than the Peak Basement Systems Wall Anchor System. One possibility is the most expensive. It's called a Foundation Wall Repair. This is extremely disruptive to your home, your life, and your structure. This repair solution does not really address the overall problem, which is expansive soil. The new foundation walls will most likely bow again.
With a Wall Anchor System, you can rest assured that your foundation walls are stable and will not further bow.
