What are Other Basement Wall Repair Methods?

Though carbon fiber wall straps are a sleek and efficient wall repair solution, they are certainly not the only repair option out there. Other wall repair methods that JES Foundation Repair can install include wall anchors and our sturdy IntelliBrace™ system.

• Wall Anchors

Wall anchors are another form of basement wall support that JES Foundation Repair offers. Typically, carbon fiber straps are used to reinforce bowed basement walls. These are applied directly to your basement wall.

Wall anchors, on the other hand, help straighten out your walls again. These anchors are buried within your yard, right into the stable, hard-packed soil near your foundation. These anchors will not interfere with your landscaping in any way. However, an expert may choose to use these wall straps over wall anchors if you do not have sufficient yard space available for wall anchor installation.

• IntelliBrace™ System

Our carbon fiber wall straps are typically installed if your basement wall has bowed inward less than two inches. You will be able to spot this give pretty fast, so this should not be a problem. However, if you do neglect to repair your wall in time, then our carbon fiber wall repair straps may not be enough to save your walls from collapsing.

Instead, our experts may have to install our IntelliBrace™ I-beam system. These I-beams differ from regular steel beams in that they are lightweight and zinc-plated. They are easy for us to install and will never rust. Installation of this system is only reserved for homes that have basement walls that bow in more than two inches and do not have sufficient yard space available for wall anchors.
