Solutions provided:
The project involved extensive foundation and deck support repairs to address structural issues caused by excessive water intrusion. The existing foundation wall around the deck was determined to be failing, which compromised the stability of the deck and the safety of the surrounding area. To address these concerns, the faulty foundation wall was carefully removed, and a new concrete footer was poured to provide a solid and permanent base for reconstruction. Following this, a CMU block foundation wall was rebuilt around the deck area, restoring structural integrity and ensuring long-term durability.
In addition to the foundation work, a Power Post stabilizer system was installed beneath the deck and affected floor areas. Each adjustable steel post was set on poly-based engineered footers, designed to evenly distribute weight and provide maximum support. This system reinforces weakened structural areas and prevents future settling, ensuring the deck and surrounding flooring remain stable over time.
During the assessment, it was determined that excessive water intrusion in the area had been a major contributing factor to the foundation wall failure. To address this, extended downspouts were added to redirect roof runoff and prevent water from accumulating near the foundation. These drainage improvements help reduce moisture exposure and protect both the new foundation wall and the surrounding deck area from future damage.
The combination of removing the failing wall, pouring a strong concrete footer, rebuilding the CMU block wall, installing the power post support system, and improving water management provides a comprehensive solution to the structural issues. This work not only restores the stability of the deck but also addresses the underlying causes, ensuring a safer and more reliable foundation for years to come.
