Systems and methods for wall support and/or straightening

A support system comprising:

• a beam with a first end and a second end, the beam configured to support a building wall located between a first floor and a second floor;
• wherein the first end of the beam is configured to couple to the first floor;
• a pivot bracket including a cam surface and a rotational coupling, the pivot bracket configured to pivotably couple to a floor support structure of the second floor utilizing the rotational coupling;
• a force application mechanism interacts with the pivot bracket and engages the second end of the beam;
• and
• a plate configured to couple to the floor support structure of the second floor and positioned to mechanically link with the cam surface of the pivot bracket, wherein the force application mechanism applies force to the pivot bracket and causes the pivot bracket to rotate, pivoting action of the pivot bracket causes the cam surface of the pivot bracket to put a direct compression load on a follower surface of the plate.
