Foundation Repair in Cities Such as Johnsonburg in North Pennsylvania and Cuba in Western New York

Having a cracked or bowed foundation wall in your home can be an expensive and stressful situation. And if they're left unattended, they're very likely to get worse until the problem affects the entire home and can no longer be ignored. However, if treated in a timely fashion, bowing or damaged basement walls may be repaired simply and quickly with no need to rebuild the foundation walls.

Cracked and Bowed Walls

Cracked and bowed walls in New York and Pennsylvania result from expanding and contracting soils around the exterior of the foundation wall that adds pressure against the foundation. The result is a wall that bows inward. The bowing effect is a result of the wall being attached to the house at the top and blocked by the floor at the bottom. When the wall moves inward, it bows the middle. The result is that the expanding interior facing of the wall cracks, leaving a horizontal gap across the interior surface of the wall.

If the interior of the wall can be strengthened so as to be three times as strong as the pressure from the expanding soils, the wall can be saved from the expensive process of rebuilding. The old way of supporting the walls was with weak, unsightly steel beams or plates. The better way is with the Reinforcer.

The Reinforcer has eight to 10 times the tensile strength of steel. It works on concrete block, poured concrete, brick, and clay tile to secure and stabilize cracking, bowing, or buckling foundation walls, and comes with a Lifetime Transferable Warranty. Repaired walls can be finished or painted for a clean, attractive look, effectively eliminating the aesthetic problems of other types of supports.

When the Reinforcer is bonded to the failing foundation wall in PA and NY , the entire wall will act as a structural member. Multiple laboratory and field testing have proven that the Reinforcer ® does not fail before the concrete or masonry wall will. In fact, just three strips of Reinforcer® are able to hold up against weights of up to 30,000 pounds. Two Reinforcer® strips installed on a masonry foundation wall four feet apart can withstand pressure of up to 14,000 pounds! What does this mean for you? When the Reinforcer® has been installed against your foundation, your walls can be as much as ten times stronger! For further information go to http://www.thereinforcer.com/.
