The Abe Jack System of basement wall repair is designed to increase the efficiency of experienced mason contractors. Block basement wall cracks usually create mid-wall bowing which can be rectified with the Abe Jack method. No matter what length, 8 to 12 course walls can be straightened with the device, which telescopes from 6 ft. to 8 ft. 2 in. so it can be secured to the floor joists and provide pressure at the desired mid-point.
