The wall in this Gahanna, OH basement had two large stair-step cracks near each corner and the wall had shifted in quite a few centimeters. Inspector Evan Glancy recommended installing three PowerBrace steel I-beams. Foreman Manuel Inguil and his crew installed the beams, which help to support the wall and straighten it over time.
A before and after look at a crawl space support installation.
This home was being supported by stacked concrete blocks that were beginning to crumble, causing the floors above to be bouncy and sag. Our crews installed SmartJacks to stabilize the foundation.
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 basement had cracking and bowing walls, putting the home's foundation at risk. To reinforce the structure, we installed CarbonArmor straps—strong, fiber-reinforced polymers that bond to the wall and prevent further movement. This non-invasive solution provides long-term stability, ensuring the home remains safe and secure.
