Foundation Repair Photo Album: PowerBrace System Installed in Settling Home in Morgantown, KY
This home was having settlement issues and needed help asap! Thankfully, the homeowners called us and we have the perfect foundation products to fix this home's issues! Settlement can happen for multiple reasons out of your control, but when you start to see the signs (such as foundation cracks) it is important to assess the issues right away before they get any worse! Our inspector arrived at the home for their free inspection, he looked around the basement and the surrounding area, and then sat down to talk with the homeowners. He went over the problems they were having and proposed a few different foundation products to not only lift their home to the correct position, but also stop their walls from bowing, which prevents cracks from continuing to form. The homeowner agreed that our PowerBrace I-Beams were the best fit for their home and problems! Our crew got to work in no time, and now the homeowners have a fully supported and lifted home!
Interior Wall Cracks
Settling soil creates additional pressure on a foundation wall and can lead to cracking. Vertical cracks often admit significant amounts of water and must be repaired. Plus, they are unsightly and bring down the value of homes!
Getting Ready
Our crew jackhammered out the perimeter of this space in order to install our WaterGuard system. This system helps capture water and sends it to the designated drain.
Installation
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.
Tightening
The best thing about this product is that they can be tightened to allow improvement over time!
