Monday, August 28th, 2023 by Moira Helein

Challenge

Jimmy, and his wife had noticed large cracks in his block foundation on the inside of his home, as well as a visible dip in soil outside and was worried about his foundation walls failing and having trouble selling his house in the future due to its poor condition. The condition of the house had caused these many sleepless nights and a lot of stress. An inspection revealed that the walls were indeed sheering and on the verge of complete collapse. Even though, the excavation needed to fix it was more expensive than he anticipated, they understood the gravity of the situation and the need to resolve it as soon as possible.

Solution

Sure-Dry was able to resolve the issues with Jimmy's basement by installing the PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System., which is a lifelong solution that uses heavy-duty galvanized steel coated with rust-resistant zinc beams to provide stability and protection against corrosion for failing foundation walls. Additionally, an Interior WaterGuard iOS Iron Ochre Perimeter Drainage System and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System were installed to guide any future water out and away from the house. With the combination of all these systems, these homeowners were thrilled that their foundation was saved and they wouldn't have to worry about water entering their basement any time it rained.
