Dura-Grip™ Wall Repair System

The proven solution for your foundation wall problems comes from the world leader in earth anchor development.

Chance anchoring systems, widely used since 1907 in thousands of construction projects, brings the finest in materials, service and quality to your foundation.

All dealer/installers are thoroughly trained and certified in installation procedures and are supported by the extensive technical-support services of A.B. Chance Company.

Whether you have problems with a basement wall, a buttress wing wall or a free-standing embankment wall, the Dura-Grip™ Wall Repair System can add stability. Depending on conditions, the Dura-Grip System can move a wall to a better stance for improved load bearing performance. And in many cases, the System actually can return a wall to its original position and continue to retain its appearance and function for the life of the structure.

Other foundation solutions

When cracking walls, sticking doors or windows indicate settling structural foundations, Chance Helical Pier® Foundation Systems offer a patented, immediate solution. They use steel screw-type anchors that drill-type machines install through poor surface soils and embed in solid lower layers. Special brackets then attach the foundation footings to the anchors.

New building foundations on poor sites also are set on this system to help preclude potential settlement damage.

Based on over 90 years experience, these repair methods are proven, fast and affordable.

Advantages over wall replacement or other alternatives:

  • Same-day service in many cases, a fraction of the cost and trouble.
  • Neat process tidy-as-can-be jobsite, low impact on landscaping.
  • Clean finished look, almost an undetectable repair.
  • Immediate, verifiable results.
