This Bettendorf homeowner discovered a troubling sign: bowing walls in their basement. Bowing walls indicate foundation stress and potential structural issues. Thankfully, there's a solution that doesn't require major excavation – PowerBraces!

By installing PowerBraces in their basement, the Bettendorf homeowner gained several advantages:

• Stabilized Foundation: PowerBraces effectively halt inward movement of the bowing wall, preventing further foundation issues.
• Potential Wall Straightening: The adjustable joist bracket allows for gradual tightening, which may straighten the wall over time in some cases.
• Preserved Landscaping: The interior installation process avoids any disruption to your yard or landscaping.
• Faster Installation: Compared to exterior foundation repair methods, PowerBraces can often be installed more quickly, minimizing disruption to your home.

If you're concerned about bowing walls in your basement, PowerBraces offer a minimally invasive and effective solution to stabilize your foundation and restore peace of mind.

This installation, suitable for any season, restores not just the property's structural value but also the homeowners peace of mind.
