Our certified experts handle the entire basement repair process for you. Learn how channel anchors can protect your most valuable investment—your home.

What Are Channel Anchors?

Channel anchors are steel bracing systems similar to other wall anchors that stabilize bowing or shearing foundation walls permanently. The system includes earth anchors that are driven into the ground outside the foundation. Anchor rods connect the exterior earth anchors to vertical steel channel brackets installed on interior walls.

The channel anchors span floor to ceiling and are bolted to the basement floor for maximum support. By bracing the bowing walls against stable soil, channel anchors counteract destructive soil pressure and moisture damage. They also allow the potential to straighten walls back to level over time.

Signs You Need Channel Anchors

We recommend channel anchors if you notice any of these common signs of foundation damage:

Failing to address minor foundation damage could result in its progression into a major problem. Channel anchors provide a proven solution to brace your home’s foundation before significant repairs become necessary.

Is a Channel Anchor System Necessary?

It’s crucial to address bowing foundation walls promptly before further deterioration occurs. Soil pressure against compromised walls worsens over time without proper structural support.

Delaying repairs also allows water intrusion that leads to mold growth, and costly repairs. Severely damaged walls are at risk of collapse.

Channel anchors reinforce your home’s foundation to prevent catastrophic damage. We recommend channel anchors as a permanent solution to stabilize walls and restore your peace of mind.
