Bowing walls are a concerning issue and it’s important to address it before your foundation is damaged any further. What this set of before and after photos highlights is our PowerBrace system installed in a basement. PowerBraces are a great product to go with if your walls are in need of support; they’re strong, durable, and easy to install. No outside excavation is required, all we need to do is get the right size and secure them tightly to the wall. They’re made of zinc material so they’re rust resistant. Not only will PowerBraces keep your walls from buckling any further, they also can be tightened over time and correct the walls back to their original position. PowerBraces are an all-around great choice for anyone looking to give their foundation some support!
Cracks in the basement wall can mean trouble for your foundation, but also for the overall health of your basement. When cracks open up, it sends an invitation for water to move right in with little to no resistance. To permanently cover up even the largest cracks and keep water from pouring in, try FlexiSpan! FlexiSpan involves a three-part process that starts with applying a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack. Next, a strip of flexible and porous foam is installed over the crack. Finally, an impermeable membrane is attached to the wall on both sides of the foam strip, providing a strong, durable seal that won’t allow the water to come creeping back in. Take a look at the difference FlexiSpan makes in this basement!
After careful evaluation of this wall with a laser pointer, our team diagnosed that the home's foundation was failing. To support the cracked and bowing wall, production installed PowerBrace!
Just under the windows and towards the floors, this Queensbury basement wall is showing signs of deterioration. Our team installed PowerBrace to protect the home's foundation and give peace of mind to its owners!
