Day 2: Emergency Foundation repair

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Position the pre-fabricated 'deadmen' timbers into the trenches dug alongside the foundation. These timbers will serve as anchors for the tensioning cables. Once placed, use cables to connect the deadmen to the foundation wall. One end of the cable is secured to the deadman, while the other end will pass through the garage wall to be tensioned from the inside.

Goal: Anchor the foundation walls using timber deadmen and cables

Tools and materials

  • Deadmen Timbers — Providing external anchor points for the tensioning cables
  • Shovels — Adjusting the placement of deadmen
  • Steel Cables — Connecting the deadmen to the foundation wall
