Professional Bowed Wall Repair
If a wall is bowed or tilted more than 1 inch, the exterior surrounding your home should be excavated, and your foundation wall should be pushed back into place. After a professional foundation repair contractor has successfully repositioned the foundation wall(s), a non-expansive material is used as fill to prevent future pressure from expansive soil.
For foundation walls that are tilted or bowed less than 1 inch, reinforcement beams can be installed to prevent future movement. These beams act as braces, keeping your walls from bowing further.
When beams are installed to secure your home’s foundation, they are attached to the floor joists and anchored into the footings to hold the wall in place. If there is no available bracing for beam installation, helical tiebacks may be used as an alternative.
