Take a look at what PowerBraces look like in a basement! This old brick foundation was suffering from the weight of the house above and was in desperate need of help. PowerBraces helped stabilize the foundation from bowing any further and did so all while taking up minimal space in the basement. PowerBraces are a strong, reliable solution to basement wall troubles!
Older basements tend to have old, worn, unstable support systems in place to keep the foundation in place. Wooden beams were often used to hold up the ceiling of the basement and thus the rest of the house, however wood is not a good choice if you’re looking for a long-lasting solution because it is not durable or strong enough. If you’re looking to replace the wood beams in your basement or give your foundation a boost in general, SmartJacks is your answer! These steel piers are fully adjustable, able to fit any space. SmartJacks are incredibly strong and durable, meaning they’ll fix your sagging floors without making you worry about them rotting or shifting like wooden beams do!
Cracks in the basement wall can mean trouble for your foundation, but also for the overall health of your basement. When cracks open up, it sends an invitation for water to move right in with little to no resistance. To permanently cover up even the largest cracks and keep water from pouring in, try FlexiSpan! FlexiSpan involves a three-part process that starts with applying a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack. Next, a strip of flexible and porous foam is installed over the crack. Finally, an impermeable membrane is attached to the wall on both sides of the foam strip, providing a strong, durable seal that won’t allow the water to come creeping back in. Take a look at the difference FlexiSpan makes in this basement!
This block foundation in Colonie, NY was starting to crack horizontally, so our team stabilized and supported the area with PowerBrace beams!
This Colonie home had bowing walls with cracks from a shifting foundation, so our team installed PowerBrace beams for extra support to protect the home's structural integrity.
