Bowing Foundation Wall Repair

When it comes to bowed wall repair, Bix Basement Systems works with strong, durable, and effective wall anchors. The wall anchors we install will be pushed deep into the soil into stable earth. These wall anchors have steel rods which will be attached to anchors which extend through the foundation wall and through wall plates. These wall plates will help to distribute clamping pressure. Overtime, nuts on the threaded ends of the steel rods can be tightened to help apply pressure to your basement walls to push them back to where they need to be.

What Causes Bowed Walls?

We get a lot of phone calls from homeowners who ask,”What causes bowed walls?” Take a look at some of the common causes listed below:

• The type of soil around the foundation – clay soils become infiltrated with moisture very easily
• The amount of moisture found in the dirt around your foundation walls
• How deep your foundation is in the earth

Wall Anchors

BIX offers a variety of wall anchors to take care of bowed walls and other foundation problems on homes. This is a much more cost-effective solution to foundation repair than replacing the entire wall.

If you’re experiencing structural problems with your IL, IA, or MO foundation, we’re the perfect company for you. We have solutions for a wide variety of structural problems, including the following:

• Horizontal, vertical, or diagonal wall cracks
• Leaning, bowed walls
• Walls which tilt in toward the top

Each of our wall anchor systems are made with high-quality, durable materials and will be installed by our own certified and trained foundation professionals from Bix Basement Systems. Our wall anchor installations require minimal disturbance to your lawn and to the inside of your home. Little to no excavation will be required, and we will be able to install the wall anchors typically in one day or less.
