What is a Tieback?
In foundation repair, a tieback is a device used to reinforce and stabilize a foundation wall that has begun to bow, lean or tilt due to soil pressure. Tiebacks are typically used in cases where the foundation wall has moved due to expansive soil, poor drainage, or other soil-related issues.
A tieback consists of a steel rod or cable that is drilled through the foundation wall and into the soil behind it. The rod or cable is then anchored to a stable point outside of the foundation, typically a point that is deeper or further away from the affected area. The tieback is then tensioned, pulling the foundation wall back into place and stabilizing it.
Tiebacks are typically installed from the outside of the foundation, making them a more invasive repair method than other foundation repair techniques such as crack repair or mudjacking. However, tiebacks are often necessary for more severe foundation wall movement, and can be an effective way to prevent further damage and restore the stability of the foundation.
It’s important to work with a professional foundation repair company to determine if tiebacks are the appropriate solution for your foundation issue. They will have the expertise and equipment necessary to properly install tiebacks and ensure the stability and safety of your foundation.
What is an I-Beam?
In foundation repair, an I-beam, also known as a steel beam or steel column, is a device used to support and reinforce a foundation wall that has begun to bow or crack due to soil pressure or other factors.
An I-beam consists of a horizontal steel beam that is placed against the inside of the foundation wall, with vertical steel columns extending down to the floor or footings below. The beam is secured to the foundation wall with brackets or bolts, and the columns are anchored into the floor or footings.
The purpose of the I-beam is to provide additional support and reinforcement to the foundation wall, preventing further movement and potential collapse. I-beams are typically used in cases where foundation wall movement is moderate to severe, and may be used in conjunction with other foundation repair techniques such as crack repair, piering, or tiebacks.
It’s important to work with a professional foundation repair company to determine if I-beams are the appropriate solution for your foundation issue. They will have the expertise and equipment necessary to properly install I-beams and ensure the stability and safety of your foundation.
