This homeowner was referred to us by a trusted friend. She had leaning and bowing walls in the basement, with a lot of cracking. Cracking in a block wall is a sign that the wall is moving. When your basement walls are moving, there is a danger of structural failure as the wall can eventually collapse in.
We knew our PowerBrace System was a great fit for her issues. We measure the wall height of your basement and cut the PowerBrace beam to fit. The bottom of the beam is then anchored to the floor. We install a top bracket to the first-floor framing, and secure the beam. Over time, the beams can be tightened to straighten the wall over time.
Our crew can install PowerBraces year round, and generally complete the project in just a day or 2. There is a product warranty as well as our service warranty to give you all the peace of mind we can.
Give us a call at 1-800-638-7048 if you would like us to inspect your walls to make sure you aren't at risk for structural damages.
Our customer in Currie, MN needed help. Their basement walls were bowing with water seeping in. This homeowner was getting tired of dealing with the clean-up required every time it happened.
Complete Basement Systems installed a waterproofing system along the foundation using WaterGuard, installed a new SuperSump pump system and steel zinc coated I-beams to support the bowing wall.
Our customer needed help with water always coming into their basement. Wayne & Joanne were tired of the clean up mess and called in a professional.
Our System design specialist designed a permanent waterproofing system to control water entering into the basement using our WaterGuard Drainage System and a new SuperSump Pump system. It was also evident that the foundation walls had movement, so we used our PowerBrace wall system to stabilize the foundation wall using zinc coated steel I-beams.
Milly noticed our crew working in town and decided to give us a call, she wanted to know if we could come take a look at something. Our crew leader stopped by to take a look at her basement. She was concerned about the bowed walls in her basement.
Upon further investigation, signs appeared indicating that past water in the basement had been a problem for a long time. Our crew leader designed a waterproofing system, wall system, sump pump and foundation wall system.
A Garvin, Minnesota homeowner had a problematic basement. From bowing, leaking walls to mildew and moisture problems, he needed a permanent solution to transform his basement into a dry, safe space. He worked with System Design Specialist Dylan Woitas to create a solution. Crew Leader Ben Heldt and his team worked diligently to install the system, which is backed by a lifetime transferable warranty.
The before and after photo shows a typical sump pump that so many homeowners have in their homes. Not only was this sump pump ineffective, but because it wasn't sealed, gases and moisture could enter the home, which is a health concern. Our sump pump system is fully encapsulated, and this homeowner has a battery backup system as well, so if the power goes out, the sump pump will keep working, ensuring a dry space regardless of the weather!
