Strong. Rigid. Built to Last. For basement walls bowing more than 2 inches, Anchored Walls installs our Waler Steel Beam System—a rigid, interior bracing solution that stops further movement and reinforces structural stability.
Severely bowed or leaning foundation walls are often caused by hydrostatic pressure—when water-saturated soil expands and presses against the outside of the foundation. Without interior support, walls begin to curve inward, develop horizontal or stair-step cracks, and in more advanced cases, shear along mortar joints.
This damage is most common in concrete block walls and can progress rapidly if not properly addressed. The Waler Beam System is engineered to resist this pressure and restore structural strength to failing walls.
Our system is designed for residential and commercial use and works with a wide variety of wall materials—including block, concrete, and wood foundation walls. Whether your floor joists run parallel or perpendicular to the beam location, the Waler Beam System can be adapted to your structure.
Once installed, the beams create full-height stabilization, stopping movement and preventing further bowing or deformation.
The Waler Beam System is engineered to work in tandem with our Wall Anchor Repair System, using interior beam bracing along with exterior tensioning to provide combined lateral and vertical stability. When walls are severely bowed or sheared, this combination provides a powerful, long-term solution.
In cases where wall movement is caused by hydrostatic pressure, our Waler Beam System is also fully compatible with our Interior Drain Tile Waterproofing System, as well as our Basement Encapsulation Solution depending on the repair strategy demand. This allows us to address both the structural damage and the underlying water pressure that caused it—offering complete protection from future foundation issues.
We treat every home with care. Our installation crews use dust control measures, vacuum-assisted grinders, and protective barriers to reduce disruption. Once the work is complete, we fully clean the workspace—leaving you with a stable foundation and a safer home.
During your inspection, we’ll assess the degree of movement and recommend the right solution. For basement walls bowed less than 2 inches, we may recommend our Carbon Fiber Strap System, which provides a lower-profile option for early-stage wall movement.
If your basement walls are bowing, leaning, or showing signs of structural stress, contact Anchored Walls today. Our expert team will design a custom plan using the Waler Beam System—and any supporting systems needed—to protect your home for the long term.
