Helical tiebacks are long, helix-shaped steel plates installed at a downward angle into the ground alongside the affected foundation to straighten, provide stability, and prevent further shifting or movement. They work by transferring the structure’s weight from unstable soil onto themselves. They act as anchor counterforce, effectively resisting the lateral pressures that can cause foundation wall damage.
Over time, foundations can become compromised due to soil erosion, water damage, shifting earth, or other structural issues. So when your home starts showing signs of instability, such as bowing walls, settlement, or severe types of foundation cracks in the wall, helical tiebacks can provide the reinforcement needed to secure your property.
At LUX, we use a Helical Tieback System engineered for reliability. They provide an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional foundation repair methods. With minimal disturbance to the surrounding property and no excavation required, they’re also a preventative measure to strengthen your home’s stability and give you peace of mind, knowing that your property is protected against future foundation issues.
