We utilized the EverBrace Wall Restoration system, designed to permanently stabilize severely failing walls. This system deploys steel corrugated panels and specialized rigid foam to transfer the load away from the deteriorating wall, as seen in the transformation captured in the after photo. Now, their foundation is well-secured for the future.
