Soil pressure against foundation walls can cause several serious structural problems in your home. There are basically 3 ways your concrete or block wall can move: the wall can bow in the center, the bottom of the wall can be pushed inward (known as shear slide), or the top of the foundation can move inward causing your home to be moved partially off the foundation.

In this case, top of concrete block wall wall was sliding inward due to lack of proper sill plate connection. Previous methods were very intrusive.


Date: June 2009
Location: Cleveland OH
Contractor: Expert Basement Repair
Material Used: Kevlar Necktie top wall Anchor System
Project Scope:
Top of concrete block wall wall was sliding inward due to lack of proper sill plate connection. Previous methods were very intrusive. Typically steel I beams or steel angle iron would have been used. The Neckties can be easily hidden by insulation in between the joists at the rim board.

Non-weight bearing wall... thus the joists running parallel with the wall. Several obstacles to work around. Drill holes and a long extension were used to install neckties to rim board.


Conclusion:
Six Kevlar Neckties can be installed in less than 1 hour with no obstructions this unit with tight area did take 1 day. The Neckties have a pullout from the rim board of 6,000 psi and the load is distributed in between joists.
