Wall Stabilization in the St. Louis Area
Whether you are a homeowner, contractor, or a construction enthusiast, Acculift Foundation Repair has you covered when it comes to structural repairs. Building on a firm foundation includes your walls. Walls are not only essential for structural integrity but can also serve as decorative elements in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. However, over time, walls can suffer from various issues such as settlement, cracks, bowing, or bulging, jeopardizing the safety and aesthetics of the structure.
What Causes Wall Problems
Wall stabilization problems can be caused by a variety of factors, both natural and man-made.
Natural External Forces
Natural external forces that are out of our control such as flooding and extreme temperature fluctuation can affect your walls making them prone to instability.
Soil Movement & Settling
Soil movement and settling can exert pressure on the walls, leading to cracks, bowing, or even collapse
Low-Quality Materials
Man-made factors are another significant factor such as poor construction techniques or the use of low-quality materials, which can weaken the structural integrity of the walls.
Inadequate Foundations
Inadequate foundations, improper reinforcement, or the absence of necessary support can contribute to instability issues.

Why Do You Need To Repair Your Wall
If an unstable wall is left unrepaired, several issues can arise. An unstable wall increases the risk of the wall collapsing which can pose a significant safety hazard. Additionally, an unstable wall can compromise the structural integrity of the entire building, potentially resulting in further damage to other walls, floors, or even the roof. This, in turn, can lead to more expensive repairs and renovations down the line. An unstable wall can allow moisture and pests to enter the building, leading to issues such as mold growth, water damage, and infestations. Lastly, an unstable wall can decrease the property value and pose difficulties when it comes to selling or renting the building, as it reflects poorly on its overall condition.
Wall Stabilization Options
To stabilize a wall, the first step is to assess the extent of the damage and determine the underlying cause. This is done by a structural engineer and at Acculift we have engineers on staff who can evaluate the condition of the wall and provide an honest recommendation for stabilization issues.
Carbon Fiber Wall Repair
Carbon Fiber Wall Repair utilizes the exceptionally strong strength of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber straps are bonded to the wall to stop any movement and damage.
Push Piers
Push Piers are foundation underpinning that involves adding additional support to the foundation of the wall. This process pushes the piers into the solid bedrock or competent soil allowing them to support the weight or your home.
Helical Piers
Helical Piers are foundation underpinnings that screw into your foundation and designed to resist both tension and compression in order to stabilize your home.
