We repaired the large crack in this crawl space wall using the PowerBrace system. PowerBrace will permanently stabilize your home’s foundation walls using zinc-plated steel beams that are custom-fit to your space.
The middle of this block wall started to crack and bow inward. To take the pressure off the wall, we supported it with our CarbonArmor strips and waterproofed the interior with WaterGuard.
Due to the amount of moisture inside of this crawl space, the floors above were sagging down. Our hard working crew waterproofed the area by installing a full CleanSpace encapsulation. Then, they permanently stabilized and lifted the sagging floors with SmartJacks. Another crawl space saved and another satisfied customer!
Water was filling this block wall and in addition to flooding the basement put immense pressure on the foundation wall. That pressure formed cracks in the mortar and started to push the wall out. If left unchecked this could easily collapse the wall, so we installed steel beams that brace the wall moving forward.
The sinking floor in this home had become a serious problem. The previous work done to prevent this had not been doing its job. We installed our SmartJack system to permanently stabilize the home.
