Home/Tiebacks
Tieback
Foundation techniques vary from contractor
to contractor. The reason is always the
same. When your basement or retaining
wall has moved, it needs to be secured.
JES
Tie backs are designed to secure your
wall from further movement. Additionally,
they can also move the wall back towards
its original position.
JES Tiebacks use sound and proven engineering methods in securing and
stabilizing your basement wall from further
deterioration.
The JES tie back System is recommended by home inspectors,
FHA, HUD and engineers. The US Department
of Housing and Urban Development specified
over 800 tiebacks to
correct extensive foundation problems
at a housing project in Michigan City,
Indiana as well as over 400 units in the
Crow Creek Development in South Dakota.
The system is engineered
to develop holding strength several times
the strength of a concrete masonry wall.
HOW
DOES THE JES WALL ANCHOR SYSTEM
WORK?
- JES
technicians anchor the basement wall
by inserting a steel anchor rod horizontally
through the wall into the outside earth.
The rod is angled slightly downward.
- A galvanized
steel earth anchor is then attached
through a vertical hole in the ground.
- A steel bearing
plate secures the rod to the inside
basement wall and the installation is
complete.
- During dry
weather the earth shrinks and pulls
away from the outside wall.
- The anchor
rod nut inside the basement is tightened
to maintain
the stability of the wall
