Wall Stabilization in Wichita KS is useful for repairing basement panels and walls. But, it is not a foolproof strategy. It is not necessarily enough when faced with severe structural damage and an overwhelmingly decrepit basement or foundation. What wall stabilization is best for is minor to moderate problems in the basement structure. But, what does that mean? Where is the line that would require more than just a stabilization?
A wall stabilization is useful if one side of the basement is weak and failing. While replacing the panels, the Wall Stabilization in Wichita KS keeps the wall intact and steady. It essentially holds the wall up while the beams are pulled and replaced. Interestingly, the project often begins outside the basement. The foundation is opened, which basically entails the digging of a ditch along the external edge of the foundation. Any garden and landscape against the foundation will need to be dug up.
The stabilization is a temporary piece. It usually manifests as temporary metal beams with the sole goal of holding up the wall for a few hours. Clamps are used both for the exterior along the landscape and for the interior basement (where it meets with the foundation).
Extensive damage may require a steel beam foundation and installation. If the foundation is crippling in more than two areas, it indicates a total weakening of the structure. One area could likely be prepared with single-panel stabilization. But, two areas indicate about 50% lack in structural integrity. Wall stabilization on one side would not necessarily stabilize the other, and the project will require a complete overhaul. A complete overhaul, in a situation such as this, would require steel beams to replace the current foundation structuring.
One often fatal flaw in wall stabilization is that the only portion of the foundation being replaced is the portion that has failed. Homeowners need to ask the question, what caused the failure in the first place? The root of the problem may not be resolved with the repair.
