Project Overview 

Zavza Seal LLC was commissioned to resolve a critical structural issue in a residential property in Bayport, NY. The foundation wall, spanning approximately 75 linear feet, was found to be missing a footing, posing a significant risk to the building’s stability. Our team designed and executed a detailed plan to install a new footing while ensuring the structural integrity of the property.

Challenges

• The foundation wall lacked a proper footing, compromising stability.

• The repair required excavation and reinforcement without undermining the building.

• The project had to be conducted in sections to maintain structural integrity throughout the process.

Our Solution 

To effectively address the missing footing, we implemented the following step-by-step process:

1. Preparation and Site Work
   • Saw-cut the existing concrete slab approximately 16 inches wide to create access for excavation.

   • Excavated 12 inches deep and 14 inches wide to accommodate the installation of concrete forms.

2. Structural Reinforcement
   • Installed #5 rebar every 15 inches, acting as pile-driven reinforcements extending 5 feet into the soil.

   • Ensured rebar was installed the full length of the footing and securely tied to the driven piles for enhanced stability.

3. Footing Installation
   • Formed sections of the new 12-inch deep by 12-inch wide footing to ensure even load distribution.

   • Divided the repair into 5-foot sections to maintain the building’s structural integrity throughout the process.

4. Temporary Structural Support
   • Installed steel posts at the midpoint of each section to provide temporary support while working on the foundation.

5. Concrete Pouring
   • Used 4,000 PSI concrete to pour and secure the new footing, ensuring long-term durability and load-bearing capacity.

Results and Client Satisfaction 

Upon completion, the property in Bayport, NY, had a properly reinforced foundation footing, significantly improving its structural stability. The meticulous execution of our plan prevented any compromise to the building’s integrity during the repair process.
