Vertical Steel Beams for Foundation Repair
When foundation walls begin to bow, lean, or crack, it’s a clear sign of soil pressure or structural stress. At Foundation & Structure Repair Group (FSRG), we install vertical steel beams—also known as steel I-beams or wall braces—to permanently stabilize and support your foundation walls, protecting your home from further damage.

How Vertical Steel Beams Work
Vertical steel beams are anchored securely against the interior face of the foundation wall. The beams are bolted into the concrete floor and attached to the wooden floor joists at the top, forming a rigid, engineered support system. This setup resists additional inward movement caused by soil expansion, hydrostatic pressure, or frost heave. Because installation occurs from the inside, there’s no need for exterior excavation—making this method efficient, clean, and long-lasting.
Benefits of Vertical Steel Beam Wall Reinforcement
- Stops wall movement permanently
- No exterior digging required
- Can be installed year-round
- Restores structural integrity
- Works with finished or unfinished basements
- Backed by engineering and warranty support
