Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Walls closing in around a person sounds like a scene from a scary movie, but it’s even scarier when it’s a reality. As the soil around the foundation changes and expands, it can exert a pressure on the walls, causing them to bow, as seen in this before photo. Luckily, we have a solution for that. PowerBraces are designed to stabilize basement walls and straighten them over time. The zinc coated beams are attached to the floor joists, and can be tightened by our team to help improve the condition of the wall. Now these homeowners can have peace of mind that the only way these walls are moving are back to their original position. 

This home built in the early 1900’s was having some serious foundation issues. In their michigan basement, the walls were cracking and bowing. To stabilize these walls, our engineers explored every available option before deciding that PowerBraces would work best. This system uses a joint reinforcement method, as zinc coated beams are fixed to the floor joists. The system is tightened over time which gradually improves the condition of the wall, allowing for straightening over time .
