A settling foundation can cause walls to shift, affecting the integrity of the home. Our Production team installed PowerBrace wall support to prevent further damage to this Selkirk home.
Before: The homeowner in Selkirk, NY, struggled with an outdated sump pump that couldn’t keep up during heavy rainstorms, leaving the basement vulnerable to water intrusion and potential flooding. The system lacked proper backup support and efficiency, causing concerns about long-term water management.
After: We upgraded their system with a state-of-the-art TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, featuring three pumps for optimal performance and a battery backup to ensure protection even during power outages. The new system provides reliable, efficient water removal, keeping the basement dry and giving the homeowner peace of mind, no matter the weather.
Sump pumps are a very common product featured in basement waterproofing systems. Even homes with little to no protection against water often have a pump in some capacity. However, they are frequently an item that is wildly outdated. Just because there’s the presence of one does not mean water won’t be a problem. If the sump pump is not up to date and in proper working condition, then it’s as good as worthless. This before and after set showcases the difference between an old, ineffective pump and our top-of-the-line TripleSafe. The TripleSafe can handle high levels of water with no issue and even continue to run even during a blackout or bad ice storm, which anyone who’s lived here for more than a year knows is inevitable, thanks to the IceGuards and backup battery. If you’re looking to update your system, TripleSafe is the answer.
Before and after photos of adding powerbraces to an Ancram basement!
As a house gets older, it’s only natural for the foundation to settle and walls to start bowing. Luckily, there’s an easy solution that does not require an entire excavation or overhaul of your foundation. These pictures showcase our PowerBrace product in a basement. What these joists do is prevent the integrity of the wall from deteriorating any more, keep them from bowing further, and can even potentially correct the misaligned structure. PowerBraces have the ability to be tightened, which gives them the opportunity to straighten the walls over time. They’re also have a neat, clean look to them and are zinc-coated, which makes them rust resistant; giving you one less thing to worry about. If bowing walls are a concern of yours, give us a call and one of our experienced design specialists will come in and determine if PowerBraces are right for your basement!
