Foundation Description
The structure features an original stone foundation approximately 110 years old. Over time, concrete has been poured around the interior of the original foundation. The home includes several additions, including a CMU (concrete masonry unit) block addition and slab portions located at the front and rear of the property.


Background and Observations
This inspection was requested due to water intrusion throughout most parts of the foundation. During the assessment, we took floor elevations and identified a notable drop along the left side of the home. We also noted that the column labeled C2 is slightly high.
Because the homeowner has only occupied the residence for one year and has not observed new signs of movement, it is currently impossible to determine if this settlement is active or historic. Furthermore, the interior concrete pours would make foundation stabilization difficult and costly to execute properly at this stage.
Additional observations include:
• Significant failure of the C2 support column.
• Severe leaning and separation of a specific section of the concrete wall.
• Inward movement exceeding 1" on a section of the CMU addition wall.
• Widespread water infiltration across the stone and concrete foundation sections.


Customer Project Goals
The homeowner’s primary goal is to address structural failures and water intrusion to ensure the long-term integrity of the home. This includes prioritizing the most critical structural repairs (Primary Repairs) before moving to secondary structural reinforcements and a comprehensive waterproofing solution to provide a dry, usable basement.


If No Action Is Taken
If the failing columns are not replaced, the structural load of the home will remain unevenly distributed, potentially leading to sagging floors or sudden shifts in the framing above. The leaning concrete wall and the bowing CMU wall are under active hydrostatic pressure; without reinforcement, this movement will likely continue, eventually leading to worsening damage. Ongoing water infiltration will continue to increase the risk of mold and moisture damage to the interior.


Jet Foundation Recommends

Primary repairs:

Basement Column Replacement (C2): We will shore up the structure, remove the failing column, and pour a code-compliant, reinforced concrete footer. A new steel column will be installed and adjusted to level the area without causing collateral damage to the structure.
Carbon Fiber InvisiBeams (Fortress System): To address the leaning and separating concrete wall, we will install two InvisiBeam straps. These will be secured horizontally into the perpendicular walls to wrap the entire damaged corner, providing a lifetime structural warranty.
Elevation Monitoring: We recommend waiting 6-12 months to remeasure elevations on the left side of the home. This will determine if the settlement is ongoing before committing to expensive stabilization repairs.

Secondary Repairs:

Carbon Fiber InvisiBeams (Fortress System): For the CMU wall pushed in over 1", we will install three vertical InvisiBeam straps to permanently cease inward movement.
Basement Column Replacement (C3): To ensure the home is reliably sound, we will replace a second aging column using the same process as C2 (shoring, reinforced footer, and new steel column).


Waterproofing:

Interior Drain Tile System (Full): We will install a comprehensive interior drainage system around the perimeter.
Interior Moisture Barrier Wall Wrap: This will be applied to both the concrete and stone portions of the foundation to direct seepage into the drainage system.
Sump Pump and Pit Installation (Zoeller M63): We will install two sump pump systems to collect and discharge water away from the foundation. This system includes a lifetime warranty against leaking.

Why we chose this product

Fortress Invisibeam™ carbon fiber straps permanently stabilize foundation walls without excavation or bulky hardware. They’re epoxied directly to the wall and anchored into the framing with patented fasteners, preventing further movement.

ICC-Certified & Patented – The only carbon fiber system independently tested and code-approved. Review the ICC certification.

Clean Installation – Flush to the wall, preserves basement space, and can be painted over.

Backed by Warranty – Lifetime transferable warranty for lasting peace of mind.

Engineer Reviewed – Every design is approved by the manufacturer.
