Foundation Repair Photo Album: Wall Repair in Dawson Springs, KY

This customer in Dawson Springs, KY, called Frontier after noticing cracks in the foundation walls. To stabilize the wall, we installed our PowerBrace Beams. The PowerBrace is a patented foundation wall repair system designed to stabilize failing basement walls and potentially straighten them over time. These steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position, eliminating the need for any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace System can be tightened to straighten bowing or tilting walls.

Bowing Walls

The foundation walls are bowing and cracking. If foundation walls are bowing, buckling or are showing signs of inward movement, this could lead to complete wall failure.

Cracking Foundation Walls

Water-saturated soil can sometimes exert enough pressure to cause foundation walls to bow, bulge or tilt.

The PowerBrace System

Foundation walls move inward primarily due to expansive soils and hydrostatic pressure on the walls from outside. However, foundation walls may also crack due to many other outside causes, including foundation settlement. Our foundation experts will accurately identify the cause of your home's foundation problems.
