Stair-Step Cracks & Bowing Wall Reinforced with Wall Anchors - Winston-Salem, NC

In Winston-Salem, NC, this homeowner was dealing with a severely cracked and bowing basement wall. The stair-step crack pattern and shifting near the window were telltale signs of foundation pressure and inward wall movement common symptoms of hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil pushing against the exterior.

To stop the wall from worsening and permanently stabilize the structure, our team installed a wall anchor system. These galvanized steel anchors are designed to counteract external pressure and gradually straighten the wall over time.

As seen in the "after" photo, the steel plates are now securely anchored along the problem wall, reinforced at the base with fresh concrete for a long-lasting hold. What was once a vulnerable and concerning crack is now a fortified basement wall ready to stand the test of time.
