Defective foundation walls; extensive problem
| Posted on April 26, 2012 at 7:22 AM |
Defective foundation walls are a common problem, especially for concrete block walls. Foundation walls around full basement are all-too-often cracked and pushed inward by soil against the wall. In New Jersey alone, at least several tens of thousands of basement foundation walls built in the last 40 years have a major problem with excessive height of soil backfill. Many of these walls have been damaged or severely damaged. This extensive problem most often begins with faulty design. The wall is not thick enough to resist lateral force from soil pressure against the wall. Height of soil backfill (measured from basement floor) often exceeds.........or greatly exceeds........standard limits specified by the building code. Defective construction methods can also be the cause, or contributing factor, for damaged foundation walls. Other factors include improper drainage that allows soil against the wall to become saturated (or frozen), tree roots pushing against wall, and weight of vehicles on driveway adjacent to wall. On the web site, see "Foundation Wall Design" and "Cracked Foundation Wall" for further information. |

Foundation walls are the most important part of any construction and having any kind of problem in them can cause huge loss in future.

I agree to what you say that defective foundation walls are a common problem, especially for concrete block walls. Defective construction methods can also be the cause, or contributing factor, for damaged foundation walls.

I write a comment whenever I like a post on a website or
I have something to valuable to contribute to the
discussion. Usually it is caused by the sincerness displayed in the article I browsed.
And after this article Defective foundation walls; extensive problem.
I was actually excited enough to drop a commenta response :-P I do have a couple of
questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be simply
me or do some of the comments appear like they are
left by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing at other online social sites, I would like to follow everything fresh you have to post.
Would you make a list all of all your community pages like
your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

But yeah, thanks for spending the time to talk about this matter here on your website.2
