A common cause of bowing walls is hydrostatic pressure against the foundation walls causing the walls to bow inward.
The team strategically places markers (green tape pictured) prior to installing the PowerBrace system.
The top of the PowerBrace I-Beam is a bracket that is secured to the floor joist and tightens the I-Beam against the bowing wall. The potential for further tightening allows this system to straighten the wall over time.
The bottom of the I-Beam is secured into the concrete of the foundation floor.
There are many benefits of choosing the PowerBrace system such as there is no outside excavation involved, the system can potentially straighten the wall and the I-Beam is zinc plated which makes it resistant to rust.
These walls are permanently stabilized with the PowerBrace system.
