Foundation Bowed Wall Repair
If your walls have bowed more than one inch, it is necessary to excavate the exterior area surrounding your home and push the foundation wall back into its proper position. After the foundation wall has been successfully repositioned by a professional repair contractor, a non-expansive material will be used as backfill to prevent future pressure from expansive soil.
For foundation walls that are tilted or bowed less than one inch, reinforcement beams can be installed to prevent further movement. These beams act as braces, stabilizing the walls and preventing additional bowing.
When reinforcement beams are installed to secure your foundation, they are attached to the floor joists and anchored into the footings to hold the wall in place. If there is insufficient bracing to install beams, helical tiebacks may be used as an alternative.
