How about this house, basement, wall anchors were previously installed… loll!
EH, jesus people, did the STOOPID wall anchors ($$$$$) STOP the walls, cracks from moving, widening…huh?

It doesn’t leak because of some imbecile moronic belief, myth that the grade needs to be sloped better or the driveway slabs need to be mudjacked or replaced or the g dang DOG knocked off the downspout extension, or the HIGHLY POPULAR bulllsht line that the exterior drain tiles are clogged, come on! It leaks, like many do, be-----cause there are exterior cracks, period.

'Even one loose or missing stone in a rubble wall - which can get dislodged as mortar surrounding it gradually DETERIORATES to dust - may lead to a collapse"

Hmmmm, deteriorated mortar etc, umm do they mean something like this/photo that NO interior system would repair/waterproof, huh???

Dust in the wind/Kansas …‘Bubba closes his eyeballs, only for a moment and the inside system companies R gone!’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wp4O7v5320

Excavation project next door may have caused wall on house to collapse
F Dept dude, 'It looks like they got a little too close to that foundation…"

LAST paragraph, ‘Careful on the construction site’ :mrgreen: :wink:
http://www.renovateyourworld.com/HowTo_Library/Why_Foundations_Fail-Foundation-A2095.html
“When there’s a heavy load on the ground next to a foundation, some of the pressure is TRANSFERRED to the wall. During construction, bulldozers and trucks that come near a basement wall can ADD enough surcharge pressure to damage the wall. A new building being built next to an existing basement can also INCREASE the underground pressure and damage the existing foundation… even parked cars can cause trouble…”

I guess the excavator(s) missed this article :mrgreen:

It’s all good here Mark…I hope the same for you Partner…
