Foundation Repair: Helical Tiebacks
At Local, we understand the unique foundation challenges that homeowners and property owners face in Hinckley, MN and across Minnesota. With fluctuating seasonal moisture, expansive soils, and freeze-thaw cycles, it’s not uncommon for retaining walls and basement walls to bow, lean, or crack under the hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding soil on your home. That’s where helical tiebacks come in - a proven, effective solution for permanently stabilizing and straightening compromised foundation walls.
What Are Helical Tiebacks?
Helical tiebacks are long, steel rods with helical (spiral-shaped) plates welded to them. These anchors are installed horizontally through a foundation or retaining wall and extend deep into the surrounding stable soil. Once in place, the tiebacks are tensioned to provide immediate lateral support, helping to counteract soil pressure and restore structural integrity to your home's foundation and basement walls.
When Are Helical Tiebacks Needed?
If you notice horizontal cracks, inward tilting, or visible wall bowing in your home or commercial property, it’s crucial to address the issue early before further damage occurs. Helical tiebacks are an ideal solution for situations such as:
-
Bowing or leaning basement walls
-
Cracked or displaced retaining walls
-
Walls pushed inward by expansive or water-saturated soils
-
Foundations impacted by freeze-thaw soil movement
-
Wall stabilization projects with limited access
Advantages of Helical Tiebacks
Minimal disruption: Installed from inside the basement, requiring little excavation.
Year-round Installation: Unlike some foundation solutions, helical tiebacks can be installed in nearly any weather - an important feature in Minnesota’s variable climate.
Adjustable Tensioning: Tiebacks can be tightened after installation if necessary.
Proven Performance: Widely used in both residential and commercial applications for decades.
Immediate Stabilization: Walls can often be straightened at the time of installation.
