(Photo`s) Here`s a smidgen of what inside system companies do not competently & honestly identify and do not repair-waterproof,that`s right they leave them open. http://picasaweb.google.com/101049034584960315932
This set is my current favorite,seller poured NEW driveway and tarred along edge of new drive & house and painted inside wall (drylok)and there is more concrete underneath new driveway plus a DRAIN and piping,un-be-lievable! http://picasaweb.google.com/101049034584960315932/BasementWaterproofing14#

http://picasaweb.google.com/101049034584960315932/BasementWaterproofing36#5451204421202635298 The cause(s) of the bow and the cracks...EXTERIOR cracks and cracked-parging is on the outside, Bozo`s! You can install 50,000 wall anchors but but should have been done/MONEY should have been spent on the outside...hand dig,remove and haul away CLAY soil that is against the wall and possible underground roots etc...and WATERPROOF the wall/cracks (STILL LEAKS Duh!) and backfill w/all gravel.
Soil gases,water ENTER through those exterior cracks and so THESE, inside systems/wall anchors/carbon straps etc do NOT repair/waterproof stop ANY of this http://lancaster.unl.edu/pest/resources/pest-proofing.shtml ...Make sure ALL cracks around the outside of your house are SEALED (duh!), so mice,rats,snakes and insects can`t squeeze in(rats can get through 1/2" holes,mice can get through holes no bigger than dime).
http://lancaster.unl.edu/pest/resources/TermiteHome.shtml They cause about $5 BILLION in damages each year to homes etc, they can squeeze through a 1/32-inch crack Anything like this,or thinner. NO INSIDE SYSTEM w/sump pump etc stops/prevents this http://picasaweb.google.com/101049034584960315932/BasementWaterproofing28#5443307865924474722

Basement has been messed with by 2 different inside system companies,2 separate times....STILL leaks,cracks widening,more mold and efflorescence.
The CAUSES of the cracks/leaks/bowed walls/mold/efflorescence are STILL there,still on the outside.
Clay soil/lateral soil pressure and underground roots etc are still against-the-walls,ABSOLUTE incompetence,ignorance,fraud.
Homeowner already out BIG $$$ on the inside crap and now must spend MORE $$$ to fix it correctly,which should have been done long ago! Foolz.
