Foundation Repair Photo Album: Installing Support Piers In Flora, IL
A basement in Flora, Illinois, had some major foundation issues that needed to be addressed. An exterior wall started bowing and caving in on itself, causing concern. Woods came out and installed some support piers to fix the settlement issues. They decided to install the PowerBrace System. The PowerBrace System consists of zinc-plated steel beams custom fit to the basement height. They are secured to the wall and floor, and are anchored to the support beams that hold up the floor. This system can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments to prevent wall failure. This install will keep this home stable while also alleviating those stability concerns.
