Fully Stabilized Basement Wall After Repair
After installation, multiple PowerBrace beams now reinforce the previously bowing wall. The system is now in place to maintain wall stability and potentially straighten it over time, preventing further damage.
Cracked and Bowing Basement Wall Before Repair
This before photo reveals extensive cracking and inward bowing in the basement corner walls. Water staining and crumbling mortar show long-term structural stress and moisture intrusion.
Helical Pier Installation Under Foundation
Outside the home, our team installs a Helical Pier using hydraulic equipment to drive it deep into load-bearing soil. This transfers the weight of the structure off unstable soil and onto permanent support.
Installing PowerBrace Wall Support System
Two DBS team members secure the top bracket of a PowerBrace beam to the floor joists. These adjustable steel beams will stabilize and help straighten the bowing basement walls over time.
Anchoring PowerBrace for Lasting Wall Reinforcement
Our crew drills in the lower bracket of a PowerBrace to lock it in place. This step ensures the beam is tightly secured against the cracked wall, ready to resist future inward pressure.
