Foundation Repair Photo Album: Wall Repair in Drakesboro, KY

This customer from Drakesboro, KY, called Frontier to help them with a failing wall before listing their house for sale. We sent our Real Estate Response Team to inspect the basement, and after seeing the cracks and bowing in the foundation walls, they recommended our PowerBrace system. To stabilize the wall, we installed our PowerBrace Beams. Now that the walls are stabilized, this customer can proceed with the sale of their home.

Cracks in Basement Foundation Walls

When foundation walls begin to buckle, bow or tilt inward, homeowners are correct to be alarmed. Outside pressure from soil and water can actually cause foundation walls to collapse!

More Cracked Walls

Our company provides patented, warrantied methods for repairing cracks in foundation walls.

Old Beams

These old support beams are obviously not working. Now the customers walls are cracked and failing and allowing water to enter the basement as seen here in this photo.

Getting Ready for Repairs

An area along the wall is excavated to get ready to install the PowerBrace System.

The PowerBrace™ Foundation Wall Repair System

The PowerBrace™ is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time.

SmartJacks Installed

In some areas where there is no wall left we installed SmartJacks. The SmartJack Stabilizer is an adjustable supplemental support system. It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position.

Cemented In

The beams are cemented into place, making sure this wall is stabilized.

Wall Stabilized

With a mixture of products like SmartJacks and PowerBrace we were able to provide support for this customers home.

Steel I-Beams

These steel i-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace™ System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter.
