Project Overview
Zavza Seal LLC was tasked with repairing a structural crack in the exterior wall of a building. The crack, if left unaddressed, could have led to further structural instability and potential safety concerns. Our team implemented a specialized repair plan to stabilize the foundation and restore the integrity of the affected wall.
Challenges
- Structural Instability: The crack indicated potential foundation shifting, which required immediate stabilization.
- Exterior Accessibility: Excavation work had to be carefully executed to avoid disruptions to surrounding structures and landscaping.
- Permanent Reinforcement: A long-term solution was necessary to prevent further separation of the wall and ensure lasting stability.
Our Approach
- Excavation & Structural Reinforcement:
- Excavated the exterior grade down to the bottom of the footing to expose the affected foundation area.
- Installed a helical pile with a support bracket beneath the footing to stabilize the structure and prevent further movement.
- Crack Repair & Wall Restoration:
- Removed the damaged and cracked blocks from the affected section of the wall.
- Installed new whole blocks to restore structural integrity and provide a seamless finish.
Results & Benefits
- Enhanced Structural Stability: The installation of a helical pile reinforced the foundation, preventing further movement or cracking.
- Long-Term Durability: By replacing damaged blocks with whole blocks, we ensured a robust and visually appealing repair.
- Prevention of Future Issues: The stabilized foundation significantly reduced the risk of further wall separation or foundation-related cracks.
- Improved Property Value: A structurally sound building enhances safety and overall market value.
Conclusion
Zavza Seal LLC successfully stabilized and repaired the exterior wall crack using advanced foundation reinforcement techniques. Our helical pile installation and block replacement method ensured a long-lasting solution, preventing future structural issues.
