Foundation Repair Photo Album: PowerBrace Restores Water Damaged Basement in Saint Louis, Missouri
Marian M from Saint Louis, Missouri had a severely damaged basement. The basement had not been waterproofed and because of the continuous water leaks that would create damage, this damaged the foundation. The walls were moving and revealing cracks that jeopardized the safety of the home. Team Woods sent system design specialist, Chris T., to look at the damages and see what solution would provide the best results. After looking over the basement's damage, Chris highly recommended utilizing PowerBrace beams into the walls to strengthen them and provide support.
This album will showcase the condition of the basement before the PowerBrace beams were installed and why they are the best solution.
PowerBrace Beams
The product that would solve this issue is PowerBrace beams. PowerBrace beams are made out of durable galvanized steel that is secured into the ceiling and floor. These I-beams will provide the support that these walls need to stop cracking and moving.
Patched Cracks
The homeowner tried to patch up the cracks, but over time more cracks developed. This homeowner needed a permanent solution to prevent further damage to the foundation.
Old Support Beams
