Foundation Repair Photo Album: PowerBrace in Bear, DE
At this home the basement walls began to bow from the outside soil and water pressure build up. This pressure can build to the point of the foundation wall collapsing due to the bowing or inward tilt of a basement wall. We designed a wall repair system that will stabilize the failing walls and has the ability to help straighten the wall through time. We installed out PowerBrace steel beam brackets alongside the bowing wall and can gradually be tightened over time to prevent walls from collapsing.
