Foundation Crack in Winsted, CT
The basement of this Winsted, CT home was showing signs of structural damage. The cinder block walls were beginning to crack, and the walls were bending inward. If this problem is not solved, the structural integrity of a home can be severely compromised.

Cracks in these cinder block walls often form a staircase effect, jumping down from ceiling to floor as well as across the wall horizontally. This poses a large problem as the crack can span a very big section of the wall. These cracks are generally caused by expansion and subsequent pressure from the soil outside the home, and the walls bend and crack over time.
