This property had stair stepping cracks in the walls along with bowing. We installed out PowerBraace system on two of the walls in the basement to help support the walls from bowing further in and eventually with routine tightening's we hope to make the walls plumb again.
There is a slight bow in the wall where a crack can be seen. Although not a major issue right now, prevention of further movement is much needed.
As the soil puts pressure on your foundation wall from forces of nature such as moisture and frost, it can cause it to crack, bow and tip inward. Luckily we have a solution that will not only stabilize the foundation wall immediately but is adjustable so overtime, there is potential to reverse the wall failure.
The PowerBraces are Zinc-plated steel beams that are custom fit to your basement wall height. They are tightly secured against the wall with brackets that anchor to your basement floor and the floor joists above. The top bracket can be tightened which will allow us to get the maximum amount of movement in the wall to get it back in place if possible.
