Healthy Spaces received a phone call in Chandler, IN. The homeowner on the other line had foundation concerns found in her basement. Whenever it would rain, water would begin leaking through the bowing walls. If bowing foundation walls are left untreated, the problem will worsen, causing homeowners to question the safety of their homes. The homeowner was ready to take action and prevent her foundation from weakening more.
The basement needed a permanent feature that would stabilize the walls from the foundation settlement. The process consists of utilizing a joist reinforcement method that distributes the load evenly, eliminating the worry of damage caused to wood floor joists, commonly seen with other l-beam joists. The PowerBrace system is custom fit to the basement wall height and secured tightly against it. This system can be tightened over time, stopping wall failure without invasive drilling or digging on the property. The homeowner felt at peace once the project was completed.
