Light Duty Bracket Primarily for correcting sagging lesser loads, affordable "quick fix" outlasts the porches, stairways, decks and patios it repairs.
Standard Duty Bracket Applied in multiple locations along the foundation to stabilize and correct problems caused by poor soil conditions. For seismic uplift loads, the Uplift Restraint Bracket may be added.
Heavy Duty Bracket For such higher loads as commercial buildings and larger residences. Applied in multiples to stop settled areas, resist new movement.
Uplift Restraint Bracket For seismic conditions and to resist other upward forces. Shown as applied, assembled to top of Standard Duty Bracket.
Slab Bracket For stabilizing uneven or damaged floors. Bolt adjusts through cap fitting on top of anchor so channel lifts floor.
New Construction Bracket For support of new structures. Placed on foundation anchors installed between footing forms and tied to reinforcing bars before pouring concrete.
Wall Anchors
