Bowing Walls in Decaturville, TN

This home in Decaturville, TB, was starting to become a threat due to the foundation bowing. The basement had stair-step cracking and bowing at the top. If the foundation is left untreated, the situation will only get worse. There are a few signs inside your home that will show if your foundation is hurting. Foundation wall cracks resulting from the settlement will often start narrow at the bottom and widen as they move up the wall. Cracks in drywall throughout the house are good indicators of settlement and may be more obvious in the uppermost levels. Problems with doors and windows can occur, such as sticking, locking on doors that are not working properly, and needing to shave down the top of the door to open and close more easily. 

A PowerBrace system is installed to permanently stabilize the home's foundation. Utilizing a joist reinforcement method that distributes the load evenly, this system eliminates the worry of damage caused to wood floor joists commonly seen with other l-beam systems. PowerBrace's state-of-the-art brackets were engineered to provide strong joint reinforcement while also protecting the integrity of your home's floor system. It thrilled the homeowner to know that their foundation will be protected from now on.
