IntelliBrace™ Wall Repair System

What Is the AFS IntelliBrace™ Wall Repair System?

The AFS IntelliBrace™ Wall Repair System is a patented technology developed to stabilize basement walls affected by cracking, bowing, or shearing.  

Unlike traditional steel I-beams, IntelliBrace™ beams fasten tightly to both the floor joists and the concrete floor, ensuring maximum stability. These beams not only halt further wall movement but also allow for gradual wall adjustments over time. 

The IntelliBrace™ System can be tightened over time, slowly guiding any bowed or leaning walls back to a more stable, upright position. 

What the AFS IntelliBrace™ Wall Repair System Can Fix

If your basement walls show signs of structural weakening, the IntelliBrace™ system could be your solution. Key signs to look for include: 

• Cracks visibly extending along the walls. 
• Evident wall bowing or tilting. 
• Growing gaps between the walls and the floor or ceiling. 

Is the AFS IntelliBrace™ Wall Repair System Necessary? 

Yes. Postponing wall repairs in your basement will only allow the damage to get worse and make the repair process more and more expensive. 

Installing the IntelliBrace™ system as soon as possible is beneficial for your home’s safety. This expertly engineered system also serves as a key part of our all-encompassing basement repair strategy! 

We also offer other products like wall anchors and carbon fiber straps, which could be more suitable depending on your basement’s condition and size. 

What Are the Benefits of the IntelliBrace™ Wall Repair System? 

• Minimal Disruption: IntelliBrace™ is fitted inside your basement, eliminating the need for exterior digging. Additionally, the beams take up minimal room in your basement. 
• Enhanced Wall Stabilization: IntelliBrace™ beams offer superior stability compared to conventional I-beams, firmly bracing your basement walls. 
• Potential for Wall Straightening: Apart from stabilization, the system enables homeowners to adjust their walls over time, restoring structural solidity. 
• Exclusive Quality: Our product development is world-class, providing homeowners with the best repair solutions available. Our options are far better than generic, retail store alternatives. 

How We Install the AFS IntelliBrace™ Wall Repair System 

1. Detailed Inspection 

First and foremost, an in-depth evaluation by one of our specialists will determine if the IntelliBrace™ system fits your needs. 

During the assessment, they will confirm the necessity for this solution, take exact measurements, and indicate the installation points for the beams. 

2. Cutting the Beams 

Before the installation commences, our crew will size each beam according to the specific height of your basement walls. 

Our state-of-the-art beams and additional system components are crafted from robust, rust-resistant steel. 

3. Attach Floor Joist Components 

The top part of each brace is securely fastened to a nearby floor joist. An adjustable, large-diameter bolt ensures a secure connection. 

Our experts will assess the robustness of your floor joists prior to recommending this solution, ensuring a seamless fit and function. 

4. Adjust Each Beam’s Position 

Each beam should be precisely vertical for the IntelliBrace™ system to work effectively. To prepare for the next step, the installation team will adjust each beam’s positioning using a leveler. 

5. Secure Beams to the Floor 

Finally, all beams are anchored to your basement’s concrete floor using a specialized fastening bracket. 

Compared to traditional repair methods, IntelliBrace™ covers the full height of the walls, making it ideal for correcting walls that are bowing, tilting, or sliding. 

6. Beam Tightening 

A standout feature of IntelliBrace™ is its adjustable bolt anchored to the floor joist. 

This bolt can be gradually tightened to slowly correct wall positioning. This maintenance is best performed by our specialized team, scheduled annually. 

As is evident, the setup may be intricate. But you can rely on AFS for a secure, flawless, and efficient installation process.
