Foundation Repair Photo Album: PowerBrace Beams Secure Cracked Basement Walls in Palmyra, IL

This Palmyra, Illinois basement was cracked and in desperate need of securing. PowerBrace beams were installed onto the walls to tightened the wall into place. This album will take you through the process of choosing PowerBrace beams and the completion of the project.

Cracks in Foundation

This homeowner noticed a deep-set stair-stepping crack in her basement wall. This caused her to reach out to Woods Basement Systems for the ultimate foundation repair.

Stair-Stepping Crack

The stair-stepping crack found on the basement walls was created by the pressure that the soil surrounding the home had placed on the wall. To solve this issue, the wall needed to be supported to prevent further cracking.

Before PowerBraces

PowerBrace beams were recommended by Team Woods to solve the issue with the cracking foundation. Two beams would be installed to bring support to the wall.

PowerBraces Installed

PowerBraces are made out of galvanized steel I-beams that are placed up against the wall to prevent the walls from bowing and moving. Unlike other beams, PowerBracesupports will not bend under pressure.
