There are a lot of homeowners who want to know what caused their bowing basement wall to begin with. Many times, a bowed wall is a result of hydrostatic pressure in the soil surrounding the home. Whenever you have certain types of soil around your home, typically clay soil, it is very absorbent which can cause major foundation settlement problems. Whenever it rains, it quickly absorbs the moisture and swells up. When the soil swells, it puts a lot of pressure on your basement walls. This pressure is known as hydrostatic pressure, and it can cause your basement walls to start to lean or bow into your home. Luckily, foundation replacement is no longer the only solution to this kind of structural problem, and Seal-Tite can provide you with affordable wall anchor systems.

Determining the best method for your home depends on numerous factors. Seal-Tite’s® certified foundation experts will evaluate your wall and suggest a permanent bowed wall repair solution to fix this problem. Our solutions include:

  • Wall Anchors – interior wall plates supported with earth anchors.
  • Carbon Fiber Straps – bonded carbon fiber straps that attach to the foundation walls providing wall stability.
  • I-Beam Installation – steel beams installed on the interior of your foundation walls to reinforce your home’s structure.

Wall Anchor Systems

Wall-anchorsSeal-Tite can install wall anchor systems to effectively take care of bowing basement walls in your home. We have a team of foundation repair professionals who have been installing wall anchors for years, so you can rest assured knowing that your structural problem is going to be in good hands with our knowledgeable experts.

Installation: Wall anchors will be installed in stable, load-bearing strata around the damaged basement wall of your home. A wall plate will be installed inside the home on the bowed wall. A steel rod will connect the wall plate to the wall anchor. This rod can be tightened over time to add more lateral pressure to the wall so that it will begin to straighten up back into the position where it should be.

Steel I-Beams

Steal-I-BeamsOur steel I-beams represent the optimal solution for addressing bowed wall issues in residences across Virginia (VA), North Carolina (NC), West Virginia (WV), and Tennessee (TN). The strategic deployment of steel I-Beams involves a meticulous process that extends through the floor and securely anchors into the foundational footer.

At the upper end of these beams, a robust attachment to the joists ensures structural integrity. This method of bowed wall repair harnesses the inherent strength of your existing footer and the structural framework of your home, effectively halting any further deterioration or leaning of the affected wall. It not only fortifies the foundation but also preserves the longevity and stability of your entire structure.

Carbon Fiber Straps

Carbon-fiber-strapsAnother foundation repair method involves carbon fiber straps a woven material renowned for its remarkable tensile strength that is 10 times stronger than steel. These straps are bonded to the wall with epoxy to provide a low-profile solution that prevents further bowing of the wall.

Carbon fiber foundation straps are used to stabilize and reinforce bowed or cracked foundation walls, it is an extremely strong, non-stretchable, virtually unbreakable material also used to build aircraft. It is a good solution if the wall is only cracking, or is bowing less than 3 inches. It is quite a discrete solution since you can even paint over it making it almost invisible.

Michael arrived on time and was very professional. He repaired a leak caused by a crack in my foundation that stretched from the ceiling to the floor. A portion of the crack was behind built in shelving. Michael removed the shelving and properly repaired the crack. He also put up most of the shelving; except for a portion that blocked the crack. The work has a 10 year warranty. Michael also did a great job cleaning up. I'm extremely happy with Seal-tite's work.

Seal Tite did an awesome job installing our basement & crawlspace sump pumps. Their crew arrived right on time and didn't leave a mess. Jan and Stacy were communicative and answered all my questions. It was a pleasure working on our home projects with them.

Just moved back to the area and had Seal-Tite do the complete renovation of our foundation and lift the front of our house, which had started to sink over the years. The workers were on time every day and professional. They did quality work which has totally transformed our basement. They answered any questions we had and were very knowledgeable about the process. It was pretty amazing watching them lift up the house on the jacks. We are super happy we chose them to be part of the renovation of our old house. Thank you!

We brought and older home. I found some fondation issues. I called Jan at Seal-Tite he came out. He was right on time very professional. He gave us a free estimate and time frame when work could be done. We expected the terms the work was completed on time by Mike and his crew and they even cleaned up. You don't see that much these days. I will definitely use them again and I will request for Mike and his crew.
