What Is the IntelliBrace™ Wall Repair System?
The IntelliBrace™ Wall Repair System is a patented innovation designed to stabilize failing basement walls.
Unlike traditional I-beams, IntelliBrace™ beams are securely anchored to the floor joists and the floor, providing maximum rigidity. These beams immediately secure the wall against further deterioration and allow for potential incremental adjustments over time.
The IntelliBrace™ System can be tightened gradually, helping to realign bowed or tilted walls back to a more vertical and straight position.

How Groundworks Installs the IntelliBrace™ Wall Repair System
Our team follows these six steps so the IntelliBrace™ Wall Repair System provides a robust and adaptable solution for rectifying and strengthening compromised basement walls.
1.Thorough Inspection
We begin by conducting a comprehensive, free, no-obligation inspection of your home to assess the severity and specifics of the basement damage. Our specialists will evaluate the suitability of our solution for your situation, take precise measurements, and determine the optimal placement for the beams.
2. Beam Customization
Before installation, our team customizes each beam to precisely match the height of your basement walls. This customization ensures an efficient process and accurate installation, tailored specifically to your home’s requirements.
3. Installation of Floor Joist Components
Each brace is securely attached to a floor joist near the upper mudsill of the wall. Once installed, the large-diameter bolts can be adjusted as necessary to ensure optimal performance. Our IntelliBrace™ system is designed to maintain the integrity of your floor structure, as we verify the strength of your floor joists prior to recommending this repair strategy.
4. Beam Positioning
Proper alignment of the IntelliBrace™ system is critical. Each beam must be perfectly vertical. Our installation team achieves this by meticulously leveling each beam before securing it in place.
5. Securing Beams to the Floor
The beams are anchored to the concrete basement floor using specialized bolt-in-place brackets. The IntelliBrace™ system is designed to address a variety of wall issues, whether your walls are bowing, tilting from the top, or sliding at the bottom.
6. Adjusting the Beams
What sets the IntelliBrace™ system apart is its adjustable floor joist anchor, which allows for gradual realignment of your basement walls. This feature enables the beams to be tightened progressively over time, allowing for ongoing adjustments. Regular maintenance can also be scheduled to continuously safeguard your home.
