Basement Wall Straightening
If your basement wall is bowed or tilted more than six inches, it needs basement wall straightening immediately. Forever Foundation specializes in repairing basement walls with a straightening process that will level tilting and bowing basement walls.
Our Process
- Utility lines are marked
- If there is an air conditioning unit or generator sitting in the working area the homeowner will need to hire a qualified technician to temporarily remove the unit
- Stable basement wall braces are installed and mounted to the floor and floor joist in the basement
- Adjustable jack posts and basement wall support beams are used to slightly lift the floor joist and/or beam off the basement wall an ⅛ of an inch, to allow the basement wall to move freely
- A mini-excavator digs along the exterior foundation to remove the soil away from the basement wall
- Stable braces are tightened at the torque bolt, immediately completing the basement wall straightening process.
- Large exterior cracks and gaps are filled
- Water barrier is applied to the exterior (water barrier is not waterproofing)
- Existing soil is backfilled (the soil will take several months to settle back in place and level out)
- Steel beams and adjustable jack post are lowered, sitting the floor joist back down on the basement wall
- Stable brace systems will stay in place, permanently providing long-term reinforcement after basement wall straightening.
