Before Geneseo, IL Bowing Wall Repair
Here you can see the condition of the basement walls before the repairs were made. Walls typically bow like this due to hydrostatic pressure, which occurs when the soil outside the foundation absorbs water and expands. When the ground becomes saturated, it pushes heavily against the concrete until the wall eventually give way and buckles inward. This photo captures the severity of the issue just before we stepped in to help.
After Geneseo, IL Bowing Wall Repair
Our team successfully installed the PowerBrace system to stabilize this Geneseo, IL basement wall. The PowerBrace beams are custom-fit to the wall height and securely anchored to both the floor and ceiling joints, permanently stopping the inward bowing movement. A key benefit of this system is that the beams are also adjustable, allowing them to be tightened over time to potentially improve the wall's condition. Now, this homeowner has a safe, stable foundation.
