Foundation Repair

If your basement walls have a horizontal bulge, they are experiencing external pressure that can often result in total foundation collapse. We offer a number of products in the Atlanta, Marietta, Decatur, Smyrna, and Sandy Springs areas including basement wall anchors which will correct the problem and return your basement walls to their original position. Wall anchors are placed into the earth beside your foundation, and attached through steel poles which drill through the foundation to an internal connecting plate. Immediately inward movement of the wall is stopped, and over time the bolts are tightened so that your foundation wall straightens and is corrected.

For bowed walls, buckling walls, and tipped or leaning basement walls, Keller Waterproofing often suggests the installation of steel i-beams. These i-beams are braced on the interior of your basement and will immediately give reinforcement to basement walls. These i-beams are bracketed to the floorboards and the base of your foundation walls. They can even move your wall back to its original position eventually.

Keller Waterproofing installs foundation piers that will penetrate the earth down to the virgin soil or the bedrock. These piers attach to the footer of the foundation, and permanently stabilize your home.

As the earth beneath your foundation settles, your foundation floor may settle with it. Often, the soil beneath a home isn’t properly compacted before the foundation is poured. Over time, it sinks beneath the concrete and damages your home.

Once your foundation has been stabilized, we can evaluate if you've had any potential unseen damage as well as implement a basement waterproofing system to ensure your basement is free of water damage.
