Bowing walls not only cause leaking foundation, but also pose threat to a unstable structure. GeoLock Wall Anchors is a system that address both leaking and bowing walls. The system allows for the walls to become stable and tightened. Over time, the tightening can produce straightening results to the wall, closing the foundation cracks and gaps. CleanSpace was placed over the walls to act as a water barrier from any moisture that would seep into the foundation. WaterGuard was placed along the base of the floor to capture any moisture that enter, to direct it to the sump pump system.

FlexiSpan crack repair is actually a three-part process that begins with the application of a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack. Next, a strip of flexible and porous foam is installed over the crack. Finally, an impermeable membrane is adhered to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This fail-safe treatment allows any future seepage of water through the crack to move invisibly down the wall and into the basement’s perimeter drainage system. Unlike sealant or mortar-based crack repair, the FlexiSpan system is not adversely affected by hydrostatic pressure or slight movement in the basement wall. It works under all conditions.
