This brick foundation wall had an inward bow that we stabilized with Power Braces.
To help stabilize a bowing foundation wall, we installed 4 galvanized steel "I" beams. These PowerBraces are secured to the floor or foundation footing, and then secured at the top to the existing floor joists.
To help stabilize a bowing foundation wall, we dig a hole on the property away from the foundation. Then, inside the home, we drive a 3/4", galvanized steel rod through an anchor plate which is secured to the inside wall. The steel rod then gets connected to an earth anchor – reinforced with rebar and concrete – inside the hole on the property.
This wall had a slight bow that was concerning to the homeowner. Hollis decided to install Fortress Carbon Fiber Straps for stabilization.
Customer was very concerned about rotting floor joists and beams. We installed new jacks, beams, and posts for this happy customer.
