This homeowner signed up to fix their bowing wall, but before we could get there the wall caved in, in the middle of the night. This project started after the wall caved in. Two of our guys, Tysen and Royce went to the shop and collected material to support the house and close the basement off. We had sold the project before hand, so we then demo'ed the collapsed wall and started the rebuild. After Tikka Masonry replaced the cement blocks, we installed waterproofing, drain tile, and foam insulation. StableFill was then installed by us as an engineered fix to alleviate future earth pressure caused by the slope. 

When foundation problems are caught when they first begin they can often be permanently stabilized with our patented Power Braces. These are used when a foundation wall is secure, but shows signs of worsening over time. Instead of allowing the wall to bow and crack further we installed Power Braces to ensure the wall is permanently stabilized.

This foundation wall had experienced the effects of the backfilled earth continuously pushing on the foundation wall. The wall had cracked and was at risk to get much worse, fortunately the homeowner understood the severity of the situation and chose to have us install our incredibly strong carbon armor straps against the wall to aid it in maintaining its position. These straps are very versatile and since they lay flat to the wall they don't create any bulky obstacles in the basement.
