What’s The Difference Between the Wall Anchor System and the IntelliBrace™?

It can become confusing to decide which system to pick. Both options are great for combatting foundation issues and repairing the leftover damage. While they may sound like they do the same thing, there are key differences between the two. 

Main Differences 

The Basement Wall Anchor System is a more extensive wall anchor system. It is buried into your property’s soil, with no visible protrusions or disturbances to your landscape or intruding parts into your home’s space. The non-corrosive, non-rusting, galvanized steel wall anchor consists of a large rod underneath the earth and anchoring rods that connect this large rod to the external and internal wall anchor plates. 

Likewise, the IntelliBrace™ Wall Repair System is made of galvanized steel that is very resistant to corrosion, does not rust, and does not intrude into any space in your home. In contrast to the Basement Wall Anchor System, however, the IntelliBrace™ is made up of braces installed against your damaged wall, with no external excavation or installation necessary. 

Which Foundation System do I Pick? 

Because of the Basement Wall Anchor System’s more invasive nature, this repair is best for homeowners that have a wide expanse of property and soil to make room for the installation. The professionals you contact will need a decent amount of space to properly install the Basement Wall Anchor System rods in the soil of your property. Additionally, because the underground wall anchor rods are decently sized, they cannot be installed without qualified professionals. 

The IntelliBrace™ Wall Repair System is most suitable for those that have smaller properties or have limits to the external excavations that a wall anchor system requires. This is because the foundation system is installed against the damaged wall, avoiding the need for excavation or external installations.
