We know that for a lot of homeowners, seeing a bowing wall can be somewhat alarming. You might not know what to do or who to call for help. However, this is not a problem that you should put off finding a solution for. The longer you wait, the worse the damage is going to get. Call us ASAP and we can come out, determine how much damage has been done, and then install wall anchors or steel I-beams to stop the wall from bowing anymore. If you fail to get this foundation problem taken care of, it’s only a matter of time until it collapses in on itself. Obviously, this is going to cause a lot of problems for the overall structural integrity of your family’s home.

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

Seal-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

Our 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

Another 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.

    The Seal-Tite crew was outstanding. They came on time, worked hard under difficult conditions--it was in the 90s the entire time they were here--and did a really nice job in my over 130-year old cellar.  They also cleaned up after their job. I could not be more pleased with the work that they did. 5 stars well-earned.

    Had three men come out to dig below the foundation to lift the wall. They worked really hard and the results came out great.!

    Seal-Tite provided water-proofing in the basement of my nearly 80-year-old home where water had seeped through the floor for many years. The basement has remained completely dry, even during heavy rain storms.  No more vacuuming water with the shop-vac or running fans to dry the floor!  Great work; excellent service.

    Jan & Stacy were a pleasure to work with as well as their crews, Mike, Travis & Alan (and others), who were all professional and cordial throughout the repair process which took several days on site to complete.  Jan made his recommendations, so we hired Seal Tite for my personal needs to repair a major foundation crack in my personal home and successfully made the 43 foot wall structurally sound for less than half the cost of two other proposals.  We sold the home in one day and there is no question that the home is perfectly safe now for the new owner!

We also hired Seal Tite for another foundation repair on a professional level (a real estate transaction) for an owner who was selling his home and Seal Tite did a fantastic job, the buyer was ultimately pleased, and the home sold and closed on time thanks to Seal Tite getting the job(s) done right!!
