In Marion, VA, a dedicated homeowner, known for their meticulous care and attention to detail, grew concerned after noticing signs of potential water infiltration in their basement. Hoping to address the issue before it worsened, they reached out to Master Services for a professional evaluation. Upon inspection, our home inspector identified a long horizontal crack along the basement wall, a clear indication of hydrostatic pressure caused by the surrounding soil pressing against the structure. This type of issue, if left unaddressed, can compromise the stability of the home over time.
Understanding the urgency of the situation, the homeowner promptly scheduled the necessary repairs. The Master Services team installed Wall Plate Anchors, a highly effective solution for stabilizing compromised walls. These anchors work by securing the wall to the stable soil outside, counteracting the inward pressure and reinforcing the home’s structural integrity. With this installation complete, the homeowner can rest assured that their basement is protected against further damage, and their cherished home is safe for years to come.
