Photo Album: PowerBraces Saving What Could've Been the End to a Home
If homeowners in Menasha, WI waited one more year to fix their foundation problems, they probably wouldn't have a standing home anymore. Their walls had bowed in 4 inches and had cracks that were an inch thick!
As soon as our Design Specialist Donny saw this, he knew he had to come up with the perfect solution to save their home. He had the installation crew install 22 PowerBraces along the perimeter of their basement. These braces are made of galvanized steel and will not bend to the pressure of the wall. In fact, over time, the beam can be tightened to push the wall back into place.
Now that these homeowners have a safe foundation once again, they are at peace of mind!
