Bowing Basement Wall Becomes Stabilized in New Boston, IL

Tim and Sue had begun noticing some foundation cracks along the basement wall and after taking a closer look, noticed that the wall had become to bow inward. The contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have the issue addressed. A PowerBrace system was offered to permanently stabilize the wall. PowerBraces are a patented I-Beam system that not only permanently stabilizes the wall, but has a tightening option that can potentially straighten the wall back to its original state. Each beam is created from galvanized steel that prevent it from rusting or oxidizing over time. Tim and Sue now have a stabilized bowing wall with hopes that it will be straight once again.
