Wall Anchors & Braces
Wall anchors and braces are a reliable solution for stabilizing foundation walls affected by soil pressure in Denver, CO, and surrounding areas. Colorado’s expanding soils can cause walls to bow or crack over time. Wall anchors and braces counteract these forces, providing long-lasting reinforcement to protect your home or building and prevent further structural issues.
Repair Bowing Walls With Wall Anchors or Braces
Repair bowing walls effectively with wall anchors and braces, proven solutions for stabilizing foundation walls under pressure. Over time, expanding soil and shifting ground can cause walls to bow or crack, compromising the structural integrity of your home. Wall anchors work by anchoring walls to stable soil outside, while braces reinforce them from within, providing immediate and long-lasting support. Whether your walls are showing early signs of stress or have significant damage, these methods can restore strength and prevent further issues.
Why Do Walls Bow or Crack?
The Impact of Expanding Soil The pressure from expanding soil can cause your walls to bow and develop cracks, posing a threat to the structural integrity of your home.
Engineered Excellence Wall Anchors and Braces, meticulously engineered and endorsed by structural experts, stand as formidable interventions to counteract these forces, ensuring the restoration of your walls' strength.
Wall Anchor Installation Process
Holistic Kit Design A Wall Anchor kit, a comprehensive ensemble featuring an interior plate, connection rod, and exterior plate, forms the foundation of this solution.
Strategic Placement A carefully planned trench or hole, usually 12-15 feet away from the failing wall, is excavated to set the stage for the anchor's installation.
Concrete Penetration A 1-inch hole is drilled through your concrete wall. A testament to our commitment to precision, ensuring minimal disruption.
Basement Reinforcement A robust 3/4-inch steel rod, driven from your basement to the exterior hole, becomes the cornerstone, providing a secure foundation for the anchor.
Secured Fastening The steel rod is secured on both ends with a plate, washer, and nut, adhering to engineering specifications for maximum stability.
Torquing for Stability The entire assembly undergoes torquing as per engineering specifications, guaranteeing not just stability but also long-term resilience.
Wall Brace Installation Process
Customized Engineering A Wall Brace is an engineered piece of steel channel or tube, that is meticulously designed to provide optimal support.
Strategic Attachment The brace is placed at the bottom of the failing wall and at the top of the interior framing structure, seamlessly connecting to floor joists.
Space-efficient Solution Wall Braces step in as the preferred choice when external constraints limit the installation of an anchor solution.
