Foundation Repair Photo Album: Wall Support in Christopher, IL Home
Homeowner Dwayne H. of Christopher, Illinois discovered horizontal and diagonal stair-stepping cracks in the walls of his basement. Seeing the foundation walls of his home crack and bow, he was concerned for the stability of his home. Dwayne decided to call us here at Woods Basement Systems to find a solution to his foundation problems.
Our foremen Jeremy Raby and his team had several solutions to his foundation problems, ultimately installing our PowerBrace System. The PowerBrace System is designed to permanently stabilize your home's foundation, supporting basement walls and allows for straightening over times. Now, Dwayne can be secure about his foundation being stable and repaired.
After PowerBrace System
The PowerBrace System can be installed with no equipment needed, and no disturbance to the home's lawn or landscaping, often taking less than one day.
Before PowerBrace System
Horizontal cracks usually start out small and increase in width over time as the soil outside continues to put pressure on the wall.
Stair-Step Diagonal Wall Crack
Stair-Step cracking at the corners of a bowing wall is another common sign.
Horizontal Wall Crack
Horizontal cracking near the middle of the wall is one of the first symptoms noticed in the case of a bowing wall.
Repaired With PowerBrace
In this photo, we can see the wall has been supported by the PowerBrace System, allowing the wall to straighten over time.
