What kind of steel straps do I buy to use for my basement

Grate video.. taking your number down

Well, saying you have come up with the idea is a bit of a stretch, straps such as this are widely available in the building industry (at least in the UK). My concern would be when the ceiling board goes up, this method means you would have to hack into the board to avoid the ridge of the securing bolts, also there is considerabled length where you would be unable to affix the board due to the strap. Really to make this fully work the stap (and bold heads) need to be recessed a little and a small sister baton fixed along the length of the strap, each side so a ceiling board could be affixed nice and flush. Idea is good but not fully thought through.

Do they come with engineering. As local inspectors would ask

Would this work on a joist that is already cracked diagonally?

Very Good!!

I cold see this mikimouse shit since him start drillwith Miki mouse drill...this is so unprofetionall

Might water come into house when drilling holes in blocks?

Hi is there a way to repair the notched on the upper side?

This is an absolutely great way to fix block walls Iv done it and it’s cheap and easy to do and will last a long time if every step is done correctly,thank you for saving my house

Outstanding.

Do you include the bolts with the straps ?

I bet it can probably take a similar bearing to a regular post, but what about moment / overturning? Seems like it would be pretty weak to that.

How much of load will this pier carry?

Excellent

This looks like just what I need...except in my case the wall that needs a fix is supporting a poured concrete slab porch that is above. How could I anchor the straps to that slab? Since the slab sits directly on the block wall I don't have the tension of the steel strap like you do with wood joists. Any ideas?

So what if you can't access the underneath of the joist because there's a ceiling below?

little concerning that you have real photos for the metal beams and the carbon fiber... then when you go to the metal straps is a computer generated model...

Discussion of cracking walls early in vid is excellent. I’d never thought of that about trees but of course it’s true: they are very heavy and forces are not purely vertical.

can you elaborate 4:25 looks like my own scenario with the exception of plumbing is on top (bathroom the second floor)

can i hav ea shower drain on top of the joist? i am working with a 32 by 48 shower base where the hole is in the middle but it is also going to be on top of the floor joist is there a solution ?

at 11 min you said 20" x 20" x 12" thick footing (where did you get the 12" from?)

Nice product

Getting ready to buy a home built in 1930. One long horizontal crack in basement. So this is helpfull.

these walls like many others NEED to be hand dug out, exterior waterproofing dude because that would reduce lateral soil pressure acting upon the walls and remove any possible underground tree roots AND properly waterproof all of the EXTERIOR cracks in walls!!! (backfilled with all gravel) Example-- tree limb lands on your roof during a storm and causes damage to roof and water begins to enter, what are YOU going to do? Install some braces and foam up in the attic or are you going to remove the tree branch off the roof and repair the damaged roof on the exterior? smh

Do you have anything that works for round pipe?

Great Video thank you!! 🙏

can you notch the center of the joist if you sister the top portion ?

that’s an impact driver not a hammer drill

Very good video on explaining how to calculate column footings. Interesting product using a large steel plate.

Keep It Real Now!!! God Forbid You Question A Engineer Because They Know It All!!! ANY CRACKS In Your Basement Walls Need To Be Adressed Right Away , Because Where There's One Crack There Are More!!! That Means More Places For Water To Seap In!!! Which In Turn Fills The Blocks With Water Which In Turn Will Rott The Blocks From The Inside Out!!! Which By The Way, When The Frost Level Drops It Freezes The Water Logged Blocks!!! Which By The Way!!! As It Freezes The Ice Expands And Retracts!!! Which By The Way!!! Tends To Weakin The Blocks, Which Weakins The Tegrety Of The Wall!!! What Happens Then You Ask??? Due To The Weight Of The House!!! And The Pressure From The Ground Itself Around The Walls!!! And All The Water Run Off And Ice!!! The Walls Bow In!!! Who Wants To Just Stop The Bowing Walls??? Which By The Way!!! Is Technically A Quick Temperary Fix!!! And Yes You Can Get The Walls Straight Again!!! You Have To Dig Around The Outside Like A Water 💧 Proof!!! While You Have The Ground Open!!! What Ever Wall You Are Working With??? Start In The Corner!!! Use A 40 ton Bottle Jack!!! 2' From The Wall!!! Jack The House VERY SLOW ( Listen for unwanted cracking sounds!!! ) Just Enough To Barely Sunlight!!! You Should Have Pre -Driiled On The Basement Floor Against The Walls Every 3', 3" x 4" Deep!!! Cut Some Pieces Of 2x10x16 Blocks And Screw Them Into The Floor Joices So The Joicies Don't Roll When Jacking!!! Now!!! My Boss And I Fabbed Our Own Jack Tub That Holds Our Special 100 Ton Jack Is Specifically For Pushing Walls From The Inside!!! As You Slowly Push The Wall You Need Keep Checking The Wall With A 4' level Horizontally!!! Once The Lower Half Touches The Top And The Bottom!!! Put Your 3"x7' Beams In The Hole On The Floor And Bolt The Top Half To The Floor Joices Continue Áll The Way Around The Bad Walls!!! Don't Forget To Fill Any And Áll Cracks!!! Once You Finish The Walls From Inside!!! Go Outside While The Walls Are Exposed!!! Grind Out And Fill Any And Áll Cracks With Type S Mortar, Once It Dries, Spread Tar On The Wall, Put Visqueen And 4'x8'x2" Styrofoam!!! Where I'm From??? Inspectors Won't Let You Backfill With Dirt!!! So We Start With 2' Of Peat Gravel Over The Drain Tile, Then 3" Crushed Concrete!!! 2' Of Top Soil And Clean Up And Be Gone!!! I Have Been Doing This Since I Was 15yrs Old!!! I'm 55yr Now, I've Done Rebuilt Or Repaired Well Over A 1,000 Of These And Have Not Ever Had A Call Back!!! I Love What I Do Because At The End Of The Day??? I Know I Saved Someone's House And Or Bank Account Down The Line!!! Just Saying That There's No Way I Would Use Any Of The 3 Fixes He's Talking About, Just Pay The Extra Money A Get It Done Right The First Time!!!

can I repair 6 joists in a role using this kit?

what if you can not access the top of joist?

That strap restores "FULL" strength of the joist?

very useful knowledge!! recently renovating my kitchen, plan to run a 3" drain pipe through 5 solid wood joists of 8", the holes that run the drain pipe are over 3" Dia, so I want to use the metal joist reinforcement plate to support the joists. it is possible? Thanks

Are those straps 0.31” thick (over 1/4” thick)? They look thin but maybe that’s just for illustration?

This makes absolutely no sense ... I didn't know why I keep replaying it :)

This won’t work. You need to involve the floor system and the footing. Joist run parallel to the foundation wall and from an engineering stand point need wood blocking a minimum of 5’ back at the strap location.

Awesome. Thank you. Just what I was looking for!

Who is going to check to make sure all of these codes are followed & if they are not, what are the consequences & who enforces them?

Product name is?

I dont understand how this will keep the wall from bowing since the metal strips bend and can be cut so easily

Hey Mr Nolan do you have a email I'm a engineering technician from Trinidad and Tobago and I want to get some info

Id want that repair strap min 1/4" thick how you show it going on. Thinner, I would put it on the face over the cracked area. Steel has similar strength orientation as lumber.

Great idea.. great design.. super application.. love em'.. want to use them.. BUT wayyyy overpriced... $$$$ 👎

This was very informative... I am not ashamed to admit I too thought it was tree roots.... Glad I didnt kill that tree

Would these bring excessively notched joists in the middle to code then? Would they pass inspection in Kentucky?

Liked and subbed!!! I think you will be interested in S M Z E U S.

Interesting 🤔

Well, if you know where the toilet flange or shower drain is supposed to be, maybe move or box the the floor joist!
