Stopping a Bowing Wall in Laingsburg, MI

The back wall of this Laingsburg, MI garage was starting to crumble. Resting on a hill, this rental property had several horizontal and vertical cracks running through it caused by expanding soil putting pressure on the walls. When walls begin to push inward due to lateral pressure, they’re referred to as bowing.

The steel beams in the after photo are a part of the PowerBrace Wall Repair System. By attaching the beams to the ceiling with a bolt attachment and bracketing them to the floor, the beams are able to push back against the wall and straighten it to its original position. Once installed, the beams can be tightened at a later date to continue to improve wall conditions. Now, any pressure put on the walls will no longer threaten the foundation.

Egress Window Completes a Laingsburg, MI Basement Finish

The basement in the before photo had just been redone to stop water from leaking into the finished area. The owners wanted to complete the repairs by giving the basement a window that would highlight the finished features. As you can see in the before photo, the old window was barely visible from the outside and certainly didn’t offer a lot of sunlight on the inside. The window in the after photo is our egress replacement window. Our crew had to excavate the soil to make room for the window and its accompanying well. The larger window will allow more light to enter the basement while the well protects it from water and the elements, so leaks like before won't happen again. Note: the soil around the well was filled back in before the installation was completed.
