A homeowner in Grantville, PA, faced a common and concerning issue: bowing and cracking in their cement block basement walls. Seeking a dependable repair, they contacted Liberty Basement Systems.

Solution

The solution provided was the PowerBrace System. This system uses zinc-plated steel beams, custom-fit to the basement's height, and secured with anchored brackets. This installation effectively halted the inward movement of the walls and can, over time, help reverse the existing wall failure, all without requiring extensive and disruptive construction. The homeowner now has a stabilized and secure foundation.

The PowerBrace System is installed against a cement block wall with an evident horizontal crack. The wall began to bow inward. The wall is now fully supported and can be adjusted over time to be moved to it's original position.
