Don’t let winter walls collapse under pressure.
Frozen soil expands and increases pressure on foundation walls. ABLE’s structural reinforcements keep your basement secure during Ohio’s harshest month.
January’s deep freeze pushes frost deep into Central Ohio soil, which is tough on basement walls. That expansion puts serious pressure on your basement walls—especially if they’re already cracked or leaning.
Basement Wall Risks in January
Horizontal cracks or buckling
Stair-step cracks in block walls
Inward bowing or water seepage
