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.
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.
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.
