Album Description

An exterior foundation wall of a northeast Columbus home was bowing inward, even though it was supported by several steel I-beams.

One of our inspectors recommended excavating the area outside of the wall and pushing the foundation back to as plumb as possible. The wall was also sealed with exterior damp proofing, and 8 interior I-beams were reinstalled and braced properly.
