An Off-Balanced Garage in Evansville, IN

We received a call in Evansville, IN from a homeowner having a concrete mishap. The homeowner's driveway was pushing the concrete into her garage and it was making the foundation off balance. There was a crack starting to form in the middle of the foundation due to the concrete pushing the foundation in and forming a bowing wall. This issue can become dangerous if it is left unresolved. The foundation is what a home rests on and if it is disrupted, it will cause the home to form cracks on the floor above.

The PowerBrace system was the best option for this unique problem. The PowerBrace system is zinc-plated steel beams that are customized to fit the basement wall height and secured tightly against it. This design allows the system to be tightened over time, stopping wall failure without invasive drilling or digging on the property. An advantage to adding the PowerBrace system to wall failures is that it can be installed year-round and typically takes less than one day to complete. The PowerBrace system left the homeowner feeling secure about their home's foundation.
