Foundation Repair Photo Album: PowerBrace Installed in White Heath, Illinois

Steve W., White Heath, Illinois homeowner, was troubled by water leaking into his basement through cracks in the walls. Upon further inspection, System Design Specialist Greg B. determined the cracks in the walls were caused by movement. The walls were bowing inward, risking the integrity of the foundation. Greg designed a solution to support the walls and keep the basement dry. Foreman Greg H. installed PowerBrace to support the foundation walls. The PowerBrace system consists of galvanized steel i-beams that work to restore the walls to their original position and maintain support for the foundation. With this solution, Steve can sleep easily knowing his home is safe.
