These homeowners in Columbus, Oh knew they could not ignore their basement wall cracks any longer. The wall was starting to bow, and the water damage was prominent. They called us at Mid-State Basement Systems after seeing a wall with similar issues in our ad. Our inspector, Stephen recommended permanently stabilizing the wall with CarbonArmor straps. Our crew completed this project within the day.
Our crews reinforced this bowing basement wall with the PowerBrace Wall Repair System. The PowerBrace consists of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. This system is easily adjustable, allowing for tightening of the brace to attempt to raise the wall back to its original position.
Foundation walls begin to buckle, bow, or tilt inward from outside pressure from soil and water and can eventually cause foundation walls to collapse. The PowerBrace system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and can help straighten them over time.
This Grove City, OH basement had a large horizontal crack in one of the foundation walls, which over time can become a major structural issue. The Mid-State Basements team installed three PowerBrace i-beams to stabilize and support the wall.
With a wall slowly caving in, the basement of this home needed serious foundation repair. The homeowner called Mid-State Basement Systems for a solution.
We installed the PowerBrace Foundation Wall Support System. This wall support process involves steel beams being anchored down underground beyond the house’s base. A trench is dug for the anchoring and the steel beams are then cinched to the wall. These beams can be adjusted over time to continue to straighten the wall.
