The Shotcrete Wall Restoration System from Supportworks effectively stabilizes foundation walls that have deteriorated excessively.
People love old houses because of their charm, history and well-crafted details. Unfortunately, the foundation walls in old houses can deteriorate over time. Old foundation walls can develop cracks and bows; they can also be pushed inward by soil pressure. When a foundation starts to fail in these ways, the safety and structural integrity of the entire house is threatened.

Some contractors and restoration buffs may recommend that a failing foundation be demolished and replaced with newly constructed footings and walls. But this repair strategy can take weeks and cost many thousands of dollars. What’s more, the required excavation work can damage important landscape details, while also making it difficult or impossible to use parts of the house.
There’s an easier way. Using the Shotcrete System from Supportworks, it’s possible to stabilize and strengthen a failing foundation without costly, disruptive demolition and reconstruction. This repair technique involves the spray application of specially formulated mortar to consolidate deteriorated masonry and reinforce failing foundation walls. Shotcrete is often used in combination with other foundation repair products like wall anchors, including our Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor System. (see photos below).
Shotcrete foundation repair isn’t just fast and effective; it’s also attractive. Once our expert installers are finished, you’ll have a smooth, strong, nice-looking wall where your failing foundation used to be.
1. Install Geo-Lock™ wall anchors to shore up the deteriorating foundation wall. |
2. Apply a layer of Shotcrete to the existing wall, covering the wall plates of the wall anchors. |
3. Add another wall plate over each protruding wall anchor bolt, bedding the new plates in the Shotcrete. |
4. Apply a second layer of Shotcrete until the new wall plates are covered. |
5. Use troweling tools to smooth and finish the Shotcrete surface. |
6. Thoroughly clean the work area. The job is done! |
