Leaning & Bowing Walls

When Leaning or Bowing Walls Need to be Straightened

When soil shifts, the pressure of the soil against a wall can cause the wall to lean or bow in, which will result in foundation repairs. Sometimes, a wall will lean or bow so much that it reaches a failure point, and a simple re-stabilization is no longer an option to completely fix the issue. In this case, we strongly recommend having a foundation wall anchor or beam installed to ensure a permanent fix for your home’s foundation and wall problems.

Wall Anchors Fix Leaning and Bowed Walls

As a trusted solution for homeowners for well over 70 years, wall anchors are able to hold a tremendous amount of weight. Anchored solidly in the very soil that caused the problem in the first place, a wall anchor will pull the soil back away from the wall, allowing the wall to re-stabilize and straighten out. With proper landscaping and outdoor drainage, our Hold Right Wall Anchors can pull a wall straight over time. Alternatively, if the soil surrounding the outside wall has been excavated, a wall can be straightened within a day. A wall anchor is a great foundation repair that is affordable and will focus on the issue at hand.

 Installation Process

Wall Beams

When a wall is leaning or bowing but has not yet reached a critical failure point, sometimes a wall beam is a great solution. Our system used to stabilize walls, which we like to call ‘The Force’, provides a consistent 1,000 pounds of pressure on each beam in a wall. This pressure eliminates any movement within a wall and can slowly straighten it over time.
