Foundation Repair Photo Album: The PowerBrace Solution
Nicholas C. of Saint Peters, MO needed a solution to his bowing foundation walls. In the basement, several of the walls had horizontal cracks that were bowing in. He knew that this was a sign of foundation problems and was unsure how to stop the problem quickly. He decided to call Woods Basement Systems, the experts in all things basementy!
We had the perfect solution for William, PowerBrace! PowerBrace offers a permanent solution to fixing cracked or bowed walls due to the constant movement of soil. The Patented PowerBrace Brackets reverses the forces of nature by reinforcing the wall and over time can move the wall back to its original position without excavation outside of the home or removal of concrete from the basement floor.
Installing PowerBrace
Installing PowerBrace takes only one or two days and does no damage to the lawn or landscaping outside of the home.
Waterproofing System
The basement was also waterproofed by the Woods Basement Systems team.
PowerBrace
The PowerBrace beams are strong, supporting and stabilizing the foundation walls.
IceGuard System
IceGuard was installed outside of the home to ensure that water can escape the space if the pipes are frozen or clogged.
