Partial Below Grade Bowing Wall Repair

HJ3's StrongHold bowing wall repair system saved this homeowner 80% compared to replacement of their basement wall.

Basement Repair in New Jersey: Cost-Efficient Wall Reinforcement by HJ3

In New Jersey, basements are commonly situated either below or partially below the ground floor. In one residence, a partially below-grade basement faced a unique challenge. The sloped lawn surrounding it, when saturated with water, exerted additional pressure on the foundation wall. This article discusses how HJ3's certified Stronghold installer successfully repaired and reinforced the bowing wall, providing a cost-effective alternative to wall replacement, saving the homeowner over 80% in expenses.

Bowing Wall Issues Due to Saturated Soil

Prolonged heavy rains led to ground saturation, causing water accumulation at the foundation wall's base. The combined pressure from the soil and water exceeded the basement wall's capacity, leading to bowing. As the wall bowed, minor cracks developed, resulting in occasional leakage. Understandably, the homeowner sought a swift and reliable repair solution.

Efficient Wall Repair Process

The repair process began by preparing the interior surface of the wall. A mechanical grinder was used to remove any paint and loose concrete. The surface was then thoroughly cleaned to eliminate dust and oils. In the prepared areas, primer was applied, and pre-cut StrongHold™ carbon fiber strips were saturated with StrongHold resin before installation on the wall.

Swift and Cost-Efficient Resolution

HJ3's StrongHold certified installer efficiently completed the entire installation within just two days. Notably, the homeowner benefited from over 65% in savings compared to steel tie-backs and remarkable cost savings of more than 80% compared to full basement wall replacement. By reducing labor costs and time, the installer increased productivity, showcasing the effectiveness of the StrongHold system.
