Day 2: Emergency Foundation repair
What happens here
After the cables are installed and turnbuckles connected, begin the process of tensioning the cables. Use a tool (such as a rebar handle) to turn the turnbuckles, slowly and carefully increasing tension to pull the exterior deadmen towards the foundation. This action helps to push the bulging wall back into its correct position. Simultaneously, monitor the wall's movement with a level on the interior to ensure it's becoming true and not over-tensioned.
Goal: Pull the foundation wall back to true using tensioned cables
