Steel Basement Wall Bracing Kits

Stabilize Bowing or Leaning Walls with Steel I-Beams from ECP

Countering heavy hydrostatic pressure requires an internal support system that won’t give way. The ECP Secure Lock™ system is a heavy-duty I-beam stabilization kit engineered to straighten bowing or leaning walls and stop further movement without exterior excavation. This steel basement wall bracing is rated to withstand 22,500 lbs of lateral force, this system provides a permanent, mechanical fix for failing foundation walls.

Engineered for Maximum Lateral Support

Unlike standard beams, the Secure Lock system is designed to be a complete, adjustable assembly. It serves as an internal “skeleton” for the foundation, transferring the load from the failing masonry into the home’s floor system and concrete footing. Because the system is installed entirely from the interior, it is the ideal choice for jobs where property lines, porches, or underground utilities make exterior wall anchors impossible.

What Does the Wall Brace Include?

• A W4x13# I-beam
• A bracket to attach the beam to the floor joists. This bracket differs depending upon whether the joists are running parallel to or perpendicular to the wall
• A floor bracket that connects the beam to the concrete footing.
