Reinforcing Bowing or Buckling Foundation Walls

However, if accessing the earth outside the foundation isn’t an option, we can use the wall brace system system instead. This system is perfect if, for instance, property lines get in the way of excavation.

Installing the wall brace system Wall System
We can install the wall brace system Wall system quickly and efficiently without disruption to the outside soils or landscaping. Once installed, the wall brace system wall system will permanently halt the inward movement of your foundation walls. Installation is broken down into a five-step process:
Cutting Wall Braces
The wall brace system wall system uses steel I-beams as the basis for the support it provides. These I-beams are coated in zinc for lasting rust resistance. Our foundation repair experts will cut each beam to size before installation.
Securing Floor Joist Hardware
We will attach the top of each brace to a floor joist nearest the mudsill at the top of the wall. This bracket is bolted to the floor joist. It contains a large bolt for tightening and adjusting once the installation is complete.
Fine-Tuning wall brace system Positions
Using a level, your contractor will fine-tune the position of each I-beam to be perfectly vertical. This alignment gives each I-beam the lasting performance it needs to support your wall.
Attaching Braces
Each I-beam is attached to the concrete floor slab with a bolt-in-place bracket to complete the installation of the wall brace system System. Once complete, the wall brace system System will span the entire height of your walls.
Straightening Walls
Using the patented adjustment mechanism included with the wall brace system System, we can attempt to force your foundation walls back toward their original, vertical position.
