Photo Album: Bowed Wall Repair in Cincinnati, Ohio

Expansive clay soil around the Greater Cincinnati area has been causing homeowners stress ever since people started building homes here. The soil expands when its wet and frozen, and shrinks when its dry. This vicious cycle has put a lot of homes through the ringer, as this is one of the most common problems with basements in Cincinnati. Our PowerBrace system is able to counteract this cycle, and can permanently stabilize your bowed walls. Not only can it stabilize your walls, it can also make them straight again. Scroll through this album to see how the PowerBrace system works!

PowerBrace System Prevents Joist Damage

Near the top of the system, you will notice that the PowerBraces connect to the floor joists in a very deliberate way, depending on if the floor joists are running parallel or perpendicular to the beams. No matter which way they run, the PowerBraces will prevent damage from happening to them, unlike other I beam systems.
