Extreme Foundation Repairs Are Fast And Smooth With The Shotcrete Restoration System Near Lexington, Georgetown, Richmond

Wall Restoration System from Foundation Supportworks

Old homes attract buys because of their character, history, and charm.  Older neighborhoods are being revitalized with younger homeowners looking for somewhere to settle down.

The foundation walls in many older homes, though, have greatly deteriorated due to the building materials used to construct the home or the home's age.  This deterioration often causes the foundation walls to cave in.  At this point, there are very few options available to fix the problem.

Homeowners are usually forced to completely remove and replace the entire foundation of an old home.  This process is extremely time-consuming, costly, and disruptive, and does not even address the soil that likely caused the problem in the first place.  Your home will still be prone to caving foundation walls in the future as well.

 

Fixing extreme wall problems with the Shotcrete Wall Restoration System

The Shotcrete Wall Restoration System from Foundation Supportworks permanently stabilizes foundation walls that have deteriorated excessively. Even in cases where foundation walls have extreme damage, or when the walls are constructed with inadequate building materials such as stone, rubble, brick or clay tile, the Shotcrete Restoration System offers a long-lasting solution.

The wall restoration process begins by installing Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchors to stabilize the existing foundation walls. Next, Shotcrete is impacted onto the face of the existing wall, embedding the wall anchors into the new Shotcrete wall.

Finally, the wall finish is smoothed out and the work area is cleaned up, leaving you with a stable and completely restored foundation.

What is Shotcrete?

If your foundation wall is cracked and badly damaged, this could be the result of serious foundation problems.  Although this is true, shotcrete can transform it into a strong, smooth, attractive wall.  To someone unfamiliar with concrete technology, the term "shotcrete" probably sounds like concrete that's shot from a gun.  In reality, this is a reasonable description.

Shotcrete is a fiber-reinforced mortar mixture that is designed to be pumped through a hose and is sprayed at high pressure against a wall or other surface. This concrete produces more than double the strength of regular concrete because of the significant compaction process it undergoes during installation.

Faster, less disruptive and more affordable than other techniques

Most contractors are likely to suggest total wall replacement when they encounter severe foundation wall damage. Foundation replacement is extremely disruptive and costly, and worst of all, nothing is done to stop the same problem from happening to the new wall.

The process of integrating shotcrete with other wall repair products like wall anchor systems and I-beam systems is a patent-pending process that allows property owners to restore basement walls that are in extremely damaged condition.

Typically, a foundation repair with shotcrete can be accomplished within only a few days, a much quicker and economically sound solution that total foundation replacement.  The Shotcrete Wall Restoration System from Foundation Supportworks creates minimal disturbance to the home and its surrounding landscape.  Best of all, the Shotcrete Wall Restoration Systems is a repair that restores property value and peace of mind for property owners.
