Here is a close-up of a diagonal crack that start at the top corner of the walk-out basement door. Knowing that these cracks are a sign of a big problem the homeowners called Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate about correcting the issue. Our crews installed 9 Push Piers along the foundation to properly and permanently secure this structure.

In this photo you can see that at one point the homeowners tried to use some sort of sealant on this crack leading from a basement window. But as they found out that not only did not solve the issue but also failed to keep moisture from entering through the crack. The Push Piers installed by Woods corrected the settlement issue but will not waterproof the basement. Further products would need to be installed to also keep the basement dry.
