The problem
Norwalk home where exterior excavation revealed the original construction had no proper footer beneath a section of foundation wall. The wall had been bearing on insufficient subgrade, with rebar exposed and the structural support inadequate for the load above. This is a serious structural defect, the wall was settling and cracking because there was no foundation underneath it.
How we fixed it
We rebuilt the footer first, installing a new foundation footer with significant load-bearing capacity, roughly 10× the structural support of what was originally there. Once the new footer was poured and cured, we performed structural reinforcement on the wall above to lock the new structural assembly into a continuous load path. The result is a foundation section that performs better than the original construction ever did.
