There are different levels of severity that call for different repair methods.  RaiseRite follows the standards set forth by WAFRP (Wisconsin Association of Foundation Repair Professionals). If a wall is bowed/tilted more than 1″ the exterior should be excavated and the wall should be pushed back into place.  A non-expansive material is then used as fill to prevent and future pressure from expansive soil.

If a wall is tilted/bowed less than 1″ reinforcement beams can simply be installed to prevent future movement.

These repairs are commonly done by installing beams that attach to the floor joists to hold the wall in place.  If there is not bracing available to install beams with helical piers may be used.
