Bowed Wall Repair

Wall Anchors

Our wall braces, support, and anchors offer a permanent solution for leaning walls in your basement. This common problem is caused by hydrostatic pressure being applied to your foundation walls. Hydrostatic pressure is a result of an excessive amount of moisture in the earth. It can put a lot of force on your walls and cause them to eventually bow inward. Our supports, braces, and anchors will literally brace your wall and can be installed anywhere. We offer reliable, cost-effective solutions which can be installed any time of year with minor digging required.

Carbon Fiber Wall Brace

A true structural repair. The surface seal becomes an integral part of the crack injection process. This system revolutionizes concrete crack repair by combining carbon fiber stitching embedded in a hardened epoxy with a structural polyurethane grout injection. The first step is to understand the variables that can cause cracking. Cracking of concrete is a natural consequence of the concrete going from a plastic state to a solid state. This is due in part to stress caused by temperature change and restraint. This is often referred to as drying and shrinkage cracking. Depending on the moisture content, this process is over within a maximum of 3 years. In poured concrete, cracks are usually vertical in nature. The concrete will typically perform the way it was designed after chemically welding the crack back together.

• A true structural repair. The surface seal becomes an integral part of the crack injection process.
• All other surface seals add nothing to the crack repair and need to be removed.
• Can be used for vertical or horizontal crack repair.
• Dual Surface seal carbon fiber stitching prevents cracking fatigue and distributes load to solid concrete.

Understanding the movement of cracks will increase the success rate of repair. There are 6 ways in which a crack in a below-grade poured concrete wall generally moves:

1. Tensile/inward: due to lateral loading
2. Outward: due to shrinkage of soils
3. Opening: due to thermal changes
4. Closing: due to thermal changes, i.e. cold, wet, dry, etc.
5. Shear: due to differential loading
6. Combination: all of the above conditions, plus the added load of the structure

With our carbon fiber wall brace we can eliminate all crack conditions and re-stabilize any concrete wall.

Steel I-Beams

For the most extreme situations we offer steel I-beams that solidify a basement wall from caving in. These steel pillars are installed from the foot of your floor to the ceiling, attaching itself to the support beam in your basement. This is a surefire way to permanently hold your basement walls in place no matter what soil conditions your home has.
