Basement walls have a tremendous amount of compression strength, meaning they can easily handle the weight of a house. However, they can quickly begin to fail when too much lateral load is placed against them, such as soil pressure coming from the exterior of your home. Increases in moisture in the soil from melting snow or rain can place a load on your wall beyond what it can handle, which often leads to cracking, bowing, tipping, and shearing. Other factors such as tree roots or construction on the exterior of the wall can also contribute to wall failures. In block walls, you will typically see horizontal cracks, step cracks, and bowing in the middle of the wall as early signs of a problem. Bottom shearing is often the next indicator that your wall is in jeopardy. In a poured wall, the problems will usually appear with horizontal or angled cracks, and leaning or tipping at the top of the wall. If you experiencing any of these problems, it’s important that you reinforce your wall right away. It only takes one bad rain storm to push a wall beyond repair.

The Fortress InvisiBeam® system features the latest in composite technologies and outperforms alternative options such as steel I-Beams, Wall Anchors, or Carbon Fiber Fabric Systems.
