Bracing the Buckling Walls

Friday, April 5th, 2024 by Amanda Walter

The Powerbrace system permanently stabilizes your home's foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fit to your home's foundation wall height and secured tight against the wall with brackets anchored to fit to your basement floor to floor joists. Powerbrace's unique, patented design allows the system to be tightened over time, potentially reversing wall failure without an invasive digging or drilling on the property.

 

The system advantages include:

  • No heavy equipment needed for installation
  • No disturbance to lawn and landscaping.
  • Zinc-plated system resists corrosion
  • Can be tightened during dry seasons to straighten wall over time.
  • 25-year warranty. Guaranteed.

The Powerbrace system is backed by a 25-year product warranty from Foundation Supportworks as well as a service warranty from Liberty Basement Systems.

 

But why do you need it? As forces of nature, such as moisture and frost, interact with the soil around your home, the soil expands. That expansion results in constant inward force on your foundation wall until it can no longer support the pressure, causing cracking, bowing and tipping.
