A basement in Collinsville, Illinois, was having some foundation issues. Cracks in the walls were present, as well as bowing from the floor above. To fix this, Woods came in and installed metal supports to stabilize the home. The PowerBrace System consists of zinc-plated steel beams custom fit to the basement height. They are secured to the wall and floor, and are anchored to the support beams that hold up the floor. This system can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments to prevent wall failure. Thanks to these beams, this home will remain stable for decades to come.

Because concrete-block foundation walls feature dozens of seams and individual pieces, they are particularly susceptible to cracking and bowing. If left unaddressed, cracks can grow very large, leading to water issues and threatening total wall collapse. Because of this, it is very important to take action as soon as wall damage is noticed. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several PowerBrace beam supports in this Bethalto, Illinois basement to support the walls and prevent further cracking and bowing.
