Foundation Repair Photo Album: Wall Failure Robards, KY

The soil around your home can put enormous pressure on foundation walls. With that constant pressure on your foundation walls from the outside, the only thing holding up your foundation wall on the inside is the wall itself. Depending on whether your home has a concrete block or poured concrete foundation walls, wall failure can show up in different ways. For our homeowner in Robards, KY his walls were bowing and cracking. After calling Healthy Spaces to come and take a look at his leaky basement, after removing old wall paneling, we discovered the bowing wall and cracks throughout the wall that were previously hidden. Our team installed 4 PowerBraces along the wall which is designed to permanently stabilize your home's foundation. Our client now has peace of mind that the structural integrity of his home is safe and sound.

Old Wall Paneling Removed

Once the wall was removed, our Design Specialist could see exactly why his basement would leak every time that it rained.

Removing Wooden Wall Beams

In order for our team to permanently stabilize their walls, we had to remove the existing wooden beams that were doing little to protect their basement wall from further damage

PowerBrace Wall Reinforcement

The PowerBrace foundation wall system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and allows for potential straightening over time. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fit to the basement wall height and secured tightly against it. This is done with brackets that are anchored to the basement floor and floor joists.

Permanently Stabilize Basement Walls

Utilizing a joist reinforcement method that distributes the load evenly, this system eliminates the worry of damage caused to wood floor joists commonly seen with other I-beam systems.
