Appl. No.:

Abstract:
A basement wall repair system and method employs columns mounted vertically across the failed section of the wall. The columns are mounted at their top ends to the sill plate and the ceiling members, or joists, of the building and at their bottom ends to the building floor. An angle is installed on the side of the sill plate along the length of the sill plate. A threaded member is installed on the angle at each point at which a column will be mounted. Each column has an opening through which a threaded member is inserted. A nut is threaded onto the end of the threaded member and tightened against the column to cause the column to exert force against the failed section of the wall to stabilize the wall. The earth outside the wall can be excavated upon installation of the system to allow tightening of the nut until the wall is at or nearly at its original position. Shelving can be provided, if desired, on the columns.
