Photo Album: PowerBraces used to stabilize a failing wall in Cincinnati, OH
A home in Cincinnati was experiencing problems with a wall that was starting to bow so the homeowner called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati for a solution to this problem. The homeowner met with Roger, a Certified Inspector, who recommended that the PowerBrace System is installed.
The PowerBrace System is used to stabilize a failing wall. A steel I-beam is secured tightly against the wall with brackets that are attached to the floor and the floor joists. This immediately stabilizes the wall and protects it from further movement. There is an adjustable bracket that can be tightened over time to reverse the wall failure.
