We utilize foundation wall repair solutions from Earth Contact Products for basement wall repairs. These products are made in the USA right in the Midwest, Kansas City. Here is more information about the solutions we offer and how they can help you repair your foundation walls.

Cracked and Bowing Foundation Walls

Foundation walls tend to crack or bowing due to something called hydrostatic pressure. This pressure is typically from the build up of water in the soil around your foundation. Once the pressure has exceeded the original design strength of the wall you start to notice your basement walls cracking and water seepage can occur. If left unchecked basement walls will typically start to bow and lean.

The Solution: Plate & Wall Anchors

Plate Anchors that are designed to stabilize cracking and bowed foundation walls. Wall plate anchors secure basement and retaining walls that are bowing, leaning or cracking due to excessive hydrostatic pressure. Plate Anchors consist of an inside wall plate, an outside anchor and a high strength rod tying them together. This unique design has made the wall plate anchor the number one anchor in the industry. The inside wall plate is fabricated from hot-rolled steel and measures 12” X 26”. The wall plate has two embossed reinforcing ribs for additional stiffness, plus a 4” square washer that is included for added strength.

The wall plate and Plate Anchor are connected by a 3/4” diameter continuously threaded steel tie rod and secured with nuts. The Plate Anchor assembly is hot-dipped galvanized for protection against corrosion for many years of reliable service and support. The Plate Anchors are the most economical method for providing supplemental lateral force to help stabilize bowed and cracked walls affected by hydrostatic pressures. The installation is quick using handheld equipment and requires minimal excavation or disturbance to the yard.
