Foundation Repair Photo Album: Joist Rienforcement with PowerBrace
This Palmyra, Illinois home was dealing with a large foundation issue. The basement walls were covered in cracks due to settling foundation, letting in water and causing the home to be unstable. We installed our PowerBrace system to permanently stabilize the home’s foundation. PowerBrace supports basement walls and allows for straightening over time. Utilizing a joist reinforcement method that distributes the load evenly, eliminating the worry of damage cause to wood floor joists.
The Process
Zinc-plated steel beams are custom fit to the basement wall height and secured tightly against it.
