Bowing Wall Secured in Mount Pocono
Challenge
A homeowner in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, encountered a serious structural problem with their garage: a significant leaning and bowing wall. This instability was not only an aesthetic concern but also a critical safety issue, compromising the overall integrity of the structure. The visible distortion of the wall clearly indicated the need for immediate and effective intervention.
Solution
Liberty Basement Systems addressed this challenge by implementing our proven PowerBrace™ System. This robust solution utilizes custom-fit, zinc-plated steel beams, engineered for superior strength and corrosion resistance. These beams were meticulously installed against the bowing wall and secured firmly at the top and bottom with first-class, heavy-duty brackets. The design of the PowerBrace™ system provides immediate stabilization, halting further inward movement of the wall. Furthermore, this innovative system offers the potential for gradual straightening of the wall over time, effectively reversing the effects of the initial foundation failure.
The outcome was a fully stabilized and secured garage wall, restoring the structural integrity and safety of the building. The homeowner now benefits from a permanently reinforced foundation, demonstrating Liberty Basement Systems' commitment to safeguarding homes with professional and lasting solutions.
