Before & After Photos

This homeowner had a block wall in the basement that was bowing quite severely. Bowing walls are caused by hydrostatic pressure and expansive soils on the outside of your foundation. When the clay soil around your home absorbs water, it expands and pushes against the foundation. It's important to stop the wall from bowing or leaning any further. If this homeowner would have waited much longer, the wall could have collapsed and caused irreparable damage to the structure of his home.

We installed our PowerBrace Wall Support System is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time with regular tightening. This system requires NO outside excavation. The system we installed in this home was done in one day!

When this homeowner in Madison, MN reached out to us, her old basement was facing some major foundation issues. Portions of the existing walls had deteriorated to the point where they simply couldn’t be saved, leaving her with serious structural and water concerns.

We got to work removing the unsalvageable sections and rebuilding the affected walls to create a stronger, more reliable foundation. Once the structural work was complete, we tackled the moisture problems from the ground up.

The entire basement was waterproofed with our CleanSpace Wall System and WaterGuard drainage system, paired with a SuperSump Plus sump pump to help keep water out and efficiently remove it when it does enter. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help control moisture and create a healthier, more comfortable basement environment.

What started as a basement with serious foundation and water problems is now a stronger, drier, and better-protected space, giving this Madison homeowner peace of mind for years to come.

Brandon & Shelby of Marshall, MN were in the process of selling a home when they noticed a section of the basement wall was bowing inward.  

Overtime block foundation can develop cracks due to hydrostatic pressure against the foundation wall which can cause bowing.  The solution is our patented PowerBrace support system to stabilize the wall from further movement.  Our customer can now sell the home given peace of mind.

A homeowner in Marshall, MN noticed a horizontal crack running down one of their basement walls. At first, it didn’t seem like much, but over time, the crack grew, and the wall began to bow slightly inward. This was a sign that the foundation wall was under pressure from the surrounding soil.

Understandably, the homeowner became concerned. They wanted to protect their home and make sure the problem didn’t get worse. That’s when they reached out to our team for a professional evaluation and some helpful guidance on what could be done.

After a thorough inspection, we recommended installing our PowerBrace Wall Support System. This system uses strong, zinc-coated steel beams that attach securely from the basement floor to the floor joists above. The PowerBrace system immediately stabilizes the wall to prevent any further movement, while also allowing for adjustments over time to help bring the wall back toward its original position.

Once the system was in place, the homeowner felt a huge sense of relief. Their basement wall was now supported, their foundation was protected, and they could feel confident knowing the problem had been properly addressed.

At the end of the day, our goal is always to help homeowners understand their foundation issues and find the best, most reliable solution for their home’s long-term safety and stability.

This homeowner had block walls in the basement that were bowing. They were concerned that if they let it get too much worse they would end up with major foundation issues. Which is a completely valid concern. If not corrected, the walls can bow to the point that they collapse. Obviously, this is a major structural issue. Our PowerBrace System is a series of beams that are custom fit to your basement. They are designed to be tightened over time to actually push the walls back to their upright position.
