Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A foundation was bowing inward in a Roodhouse, IL basement, causing a large horizontal crack to form. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!
