11 FOUNDATION WALL REPAIR THAT DOESN T LEAVE YOUR HOME AND LAWN IN DISREPAIR Rebuilding or replacing a foundation wall involves jacking and temporarily suspending the home, an excavation around the foundation, possibly pouring a new footing and building the new wall. The Grip-Tite Wall Anchor System uses high-strength steel anchoring plates and structural anchor rods to immediately stabilize the wall and counteract pressure being exerted against the wall without the time, mess and expense of rebuilding the entire wall. Trained, certified technicians install this system by inserting the galvanized anchor rod through the wall into stable, supportive soils. An earth anchor is then attached to the rod through a vertical hole in the ground, providing solid support for the earth anchor to resist the pressures on the wall. Finally, the high-strength, steel wall plate is secured to the inside of the basement wall to instantly stabilize the wall. The entire process usually takes less than one day and your home and lawn appear virtually untouched. THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW Your home is one of the biggest investments you ll ever make. Don t risk this investment by failing to take care of a cracked or bowing wall. Whether the cracking or bowing is caused by hydrostatic pressure, expansive soil, or some other condition, it (may) needs to be evaluated now and corrected by experts in foundation repair.
