Thanks! This may be among the things I'll need to do to repair some foundation damage. Do you know if this tension system will work for floor separation from exterior walls? My (soon to be) house has some foundation work needed down the line likely some significant redoing.. but in the short term I'm hoping I can pull the bowing back in a bit.. and one thing that's happened is the floor joists are not resting into the foundational wall.. from some bowing in the middle of the house, but also some separation of the exterior wall.

You mentioned in the comments you french drained around the house. How deep and what size French drain did you use? Gravel and dirt above it or something else? Great video btw. Awesome repair job

Job well done 👍

Resch recommends 1 beam every 4 feet but I did it every 5 feet because of the way my wooden supports had to be built in the ceiling (because of the truss floors). If the block is weak and cracking they recommend using a wider steel plate against the wall before placing the beam. You can call Resch and they can give you a good idea of what you need better than I can. I have another video coming soon on this. Please like and sub!

I have the same problem only along the cement floor there are cracks with some sinking. I think I would have to tear that out and repour cement in that area in order to have a solid foundation for the steel beam. Ugh

The only issue I see with this system is the vertical steel beams are pushing in on the block wall with a very small contact surface and over time will potentially just allow the block to crack in a vertical direction under the steel beams or adjacent to them. I think this system may work better with a few sheets of 3/4" or even 1-1/4" plywood sandwiched between the wall and the steel beams and spanning the entire length of the block walls. Just my two cents. Might go this route myself with these modifications. Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Resch recommends placing wider steel plates behind the beams if there is enough block damage/weakness where this could be an issue. You can call them and discuss your situation and they will give you the best answer. My walls are completely moved back now. The trick is to not move too much at a time. Just baby steps over months.

It might also be hydrostatic pressure blocks filling up movement mostly happens in winter water freezes in the blocks which expans creates movement I got 6 carbon fiber straps and a full French drain hope you evaluated it properly good luck. I doubt those things will hold good luck though

Block wall like this is cheap vs rebar re-enforcemed concrete. It is dependent on the mortar joints. If/when they fail it’s only a matter of time before collapse if not reinforced to hold and push back against the hydro static pressure. The wall with steel I-beams 3-4 feet on center will stop any movement even with the hydrostatic pressures on the wall

Can you update on how it is 4 year later. We have a home that we have done mulitple things to and fixing the bow is our next steps. We do not have a huge problem but the wall is now compromised and we want a perm solution and this is right up my Hillybilly DIY ally! 🤣😂

I assume that block wall has rebar and vertically core filled at least every 4ft? and horizontal truss mesh reinforcement? If so, assuming the wall was properly built, then your real problem is drainage behind that wall. Water is most likely building up behind the wall and not draining adequately causing the wall to fail over time. Although your wall is back in place it will start to collapse again unless you fix the drainage problem behind the wall.

This may buy you some time but I fear if you don;t stop that water from contacting the wall all you will have will be the metal studs standing and other parts of the wall will collapse anyway. This will then move the joists and the trusses and the dry wall and you have to be concerned with gas and water pipes it is really a tough situation. The septic cannot be so close to the wall, it is just a discharge drain pipe going into the septic tanks this can be easily accounted for if digging around the foundation and sealing everything again on the outside. Not an expert on this but I understand how this is a bad problem. Let us know how its holding and what kind of work you are doing outside the house to prevent future problems. I think rebuilding the wall and digging the trenches to relief water intrusion is the only way at this point. Gl.

There are standard drills with hammering capabilities, there are concrete hammer drills that use SDS, SDS Plus and SDS Max bits. So I suppose the proper term would be an SDS Concrete Hammer drill. But for the sake of brevity I refer to SDS Concrete hammer drills as Hilti drills because it's short and everyone that uses concrete drills knows exactly what I'm talking about. For example, if you ask for a hammer drill at a rental place you will likely get a regular drill. If you ask for a Hilti at a rental place they will likely provide you with the proper hammer drill. Kinda like asking for a coke and getting cola. I am aware that Hilti makes regular drills but nobody rents those out. Thank you and take care.

@@rallycsx Thanks for the video, I going with the Gorilla Braces to fix my foundation wall. The term for the tool is Rotary Hammer, these are commonly referred to as a Hilti even though Hilti is just a brand name. If you ask for a rotary hammer at a rental center you should get an SDS-plus/max tool whether it's a Hilti, Bosch, or other brand.

you cant truly fix those walls unless you remove the lateral pressure from the outside
