Photo Album: Staircase Wall Cracks Leading To Wall Failure In Washington, IL

Homeowner, Michael had a wall that started to bow in. Looking at the signs of bowing walls, his basement wall had a staircase crack leading down the right side. This is stage two out of four stages of wall failure. Design Specialist, Troy, and Installer, Pete were able to work together to stabilize Michael's foundation wall.

Bracing The Wall

The Powerbrace was installed to permanently stabilize the foundation wall. It can be tightened over time to continue to straighten the wall.
