The Basement Wall Strap system is intended to permanently repair a cracked and/or inward bowed foundation wall and to prevent the wall from tipping in at the top. The straps will not remove the crack or bow in the foundation wall but permanently prevent the wall from bowing in any further or collapsing. The straps act as steel reinforcement on the interior face of the wall. Once the stretch-resistant straps are applied, the wall will be prevented from bowing any further. The straps are secured to the wall at the top and bottom using 3/8” diameter concrete expansion anchors. The top of the straps is anchored to the sill plate using two ¼” diameter x 1.5” long structural screws.

Our product is designed for foundation walls that are up to 8’ tall with a backfill height of 8’ (earth should be even with top of exterior side of wall) for up to class III soils (60 PSF lateral load); class III soils are usually the worst soils encountered. The straps should be installed so that they are spaced at 16” on center. If walls are less than 8’, the bottom excess length of the strap can be trimmed off.  These straps are not recommended for installation on a wall that has deflected inward more than 2”.

The straps are galvanized steel, 1.25” wide, 0.031” thick and 8’-6” long and come pre-drilled with the holes. The product comes complete will all of the drill bit and nut driver for installing the top of the strap to the rim joist as well as the masonry drill bit and concrete screw anchors. The hardware is also galvanized steel.  The product does not come with the socket for installing the masonry screws or the hammer drill .
