Featured Project
Basement Waterproofing Project in Northfield, OH
- The Challenge
Large Horizontal Crack and Bowing Foundation Wall
The homeowner discovered a large horizontal crack running across one of their foundation walls, along with clear signs that the wall was beginning to bow inward. Left unaddressed, this type of damage typically continues to worsen over time, allowing more pressure to build against the wall and increasing the risk of further structural movement.
Adding to the complexity of the project, the home already had an interior waterproofing system installed along the affected wall. Our team needed to carefully repair portions of the existing system as necessary before the stabilization straps could be properly installed, ensuring both systems would continue to function effectively together.
- Our Solution
Installing Fortress Stabilization Straps
After evaluating the extent of the crack and the degree of wall bowing, our team recommended installing Fortress Stabilization straps to reinforce the wall and prevent any further movement.
The project included:
By installing the Fortress Stabilization straps, the homeowner now has a reinforced foundation wall designed to resist further bowing and movement.
- The Outcome
A Stabilized Foundation Wall
With 14 Fortress Stabilization straps now in place, the homeowner’s foundation wall is secured against further bowing, giving them confidence that the structural issue has been fully resolved.
By repairing the existing waterproofing system and reinforcing the wall with Fortress Stabilization straps, the homeowner now has a stable foundation built to hold up for years to come.
