Stabilizing Cracked, Bowing Block Walls with PowerBraces™

Before: Wall Cracks Getting Worse—and So Was the Water

This Wausau homeowner had been watching their block foundation walls develop severe stairstep cracks for a while, but recently, things took a turn. As the wall continued to crack and shift inward, water began seeping through, and mold started forming in the damp corners of the basement. They knew they needed to act fast—before structural issues or water damage got worse.

After: Foundation Stabilized and Protected with PowerBraces™

We installed a series of PowerBrace™ Wall Stabilization Systems, engineered to halt inward wall movement and keep the structure from getting worse. The fully adjustable braces can even be tightened over time to potentially reverse wall deflection.

By addressing the cracking and movement, we also helped eliminate one of the primary sources of water intrusion—protecting the basement from future leaks and mold growth.
