Wall Brace System

STABILIZING FOUNDATION WALLS

The Force Arrester™ Wall Brace System is a structural solution designed to address the inward forces exerted on foundation walls of a home. These forces, which can result from various factors such as soil expansion due to moisture and frost, can lead to detrimental effects like cracking, bowing, shearing, and shifting of the foundation walls. The Wall Brace System aims to counter these forces and stabilize both load-bearing and non-load-bearing foundation walls.

Moisture and frost can interact with the soil surrounding a home, causing the soil to expand. This expansion creates a constant inward force on the foundation walls. Over time, if the foundation walls are unable to withstand this external pressure, they may start to exhibit signs of damage such as cracks, bowing (curvature or bulging), shearing (sliding or shifting horizontally), and shifting (vertical displacement).

To mitigate these issues, the Force Arrester Wall Brace System comes into play. This system incorporates structural beams or braces that are installed against the foundation walls. These braces are designed to withstand and counteract the inward forces acting on the walls. By doing so, they help stabilize the foundation and prevent further damage.

The Wall Brace System can be utilized for both load-bearing and non-load-bearing foundation walls, providing support and reinforcement in either case. By effectively countering the inward forces, it helps maintain the integrity and structural stability of the home’s foundation.
