The foundation wall displayed clear signs of efflorescence (mineral deposits) due to persistent water infiltration.
Additionally, the presence of water has resulted in hydrostatic pressure, evident from the horizontal crack.
To reinforce an adjacent wall, our crew installed Carbon Fiber Armor.
Once applied to a foundation wall, carbon fiber strapping provides tension comparable to steel without the need for drilling or heavy equipment for installation.
Our team installed three wall plate anchors.
Utilizing three Geo Locks, these anchors provide permanent support by leveraging the surrounding soil.
A close-up of our Geo Locks installed on the outside of the foundation.
Our team had to excavate underneath the cement slab to securely anchor the Geo Lock in place.
