Bowing walls are a result of hydrostatic pressure causing the walls to bow inwards and cracks are always a great indicator of compromised foundation walls.
Before the project can begin, the team takes care to mark areas in which it is safe for installation.
The team digs small holes a few feet away from the foundation where an earth anchor is seated within the hole.
One of the best aspects of installing Geo-Lock anchors is that there is minimal disturbance to the property which homeowners absolutely love!
The team makes sure every step of the installation is accurate so they use markers to ensure the exact location of the I-Beams.
Signs of bowing walls can start small and seemingly harmless, but once there is a noticeable change in the walls, it is imperative to address the matter sooner than later.
PowerBrace is an I-Beam stabilizing system unlike any other, from being zinc-plated to it's patented straightening feature.
Geo-Lock earth anchors have more holding power than other anchor systems.
Project Info

Jean B. from Muscatine wanted to address the issues of her bowing foundation walls so she contacted the team at MidAmerica Basement Systems. The team permanently stabilized the walls by installing a PowerBrace I-beam system and now Jean no longer frets over the integrity of her foundation walls!
