Bowing Wall
Bowing wall is caused by pressure from ground on foundation.
Cracked Walls
Bowing walls are caused from stress from the ground pressure. In situations with block concrete walls, cracks may appear when the walls acquire large amounts of pressure.
Signs of Foundation Settlement
Stair-step cracking is very common in concrete block walls. If left untreated, cracks may widen even more, and even lead to a leaky basement.
Preparing Installation
Crew member is properly measuring where to place the joist reinforcements so the weight of the home and foundation are evenly distributed throughout the PowerBraces. If this is not done properly, more issues may arise down the road.
PowerBraces Installed
PowerBraces installed to prevent foundation cracks from widening.
Strategically Placed PowerBraces
PowerBraces are strategically places to prevent the walls from bowing further inward. Over time the beams could potentially straighten the walls back to their original state.
