Date: April 2008
Structure: Two story family residence / foreclosure purchase
Contractor: Expert Basement Repair, Cleveland, Ohio
Material Used: Fortress 4" corner grid strap kit in Fortress toughened epoxy matrix

Project Scope:
14 course high un-reinforced 12" cement block basement wall failure. The corner of the inside basement/garage wall had broken and pulled away. Other cracking was evident but the corner repair was urgent.


Solution:
The vertical corner crack was injected with Fortress toughened epoxy and allowed to set up. A Fortress "corner stabilization kit" was then installed with 2' spacing between the four grids. Because the walls had not yet been painted, installation took only a few hours.

Observations:
With the critical corner now stabilized, the customer will have the remainder of his basement walls stabilized with Fortress 4" grid straps in the future as his budget allows.
