The Cost-Effective Way To Stop Wall
Deterioration
The GRIP-TITE® Wall Anchor System utilizes
proven engineering methods to secure and stabilize deteriorating basement
walls. What's more, the system works on any kind of basement wall: concrete
block, poured concrete, or tile.
Until now, homeowners had few choices for repairing
foundation walls. To rebuild a wall, workers jack up the house, excavate
around the wall and build a new basement wall. This solution is expensive,
time consuming, and destructive to landscaping. Not only that, the problem
can recur if the wall is not properly rebuilt or if steps are not taken
to correct the causes of the initial deterioration.
The GRIP-TITE® Wall Anchor System, however is
a cost-effective alternative to rebuilding a foundation wall. Simple
and effective the patented system secures and stabilizes cracking, bowed,
or buckling foundation walls.
Proven Engineering Methods Work
The GRIP-TITE® Wall Anchor System uses anchoring
plates and rods to stabilize the wall and counteract the hydrostatic
pressure being exerted against the wall. By counteracting this pressure,
the causes contributing to the deterioration are lessened.
To install a GRIP-TITE® Wall Anchor System, technicians insert a steel
anchor rod through the wall into the outside earth. A steel anchor is
then attached to the rod through a vertical hole in the ground. Finally,
a steel wall plate secures the rod to the inside basement wall and installation
is complete.
Safe For Your Home And Lawn
Installing the GRIP-TITE® Wall Anchor System usually takes less than
one day. Anchors can be placed in various locations along the wall,
and rod extenders can be added to avoid all decking, cement work, flower
beds, and other landscaping. And because the system works with the wall
and ground, structural changes to your house are unnecessary.
Save Your Home, Protect Your Valuables
A home is usually the biggest investment a person or family makes -
not to mention the value of the possessions contained within it. A cave-in
can cause irreparable damage to the house and contents making it important
to secure, stabilize, and correct deteriorating basement walls - before
it's too late.
Foundation cracks and bulges develop for a number of reasons. At best,
they are due to settling and may simply be unsightly. At worst, they
are early signals of much larger problems and can precede a collapsed
wall and sunken house. That's why it's important to have a professional
examine the wall and determine what steps, if any need to be taken.
