Making a Basement Safe in Marshall, MN

A homeowner in Marshall, MN noticed a horizontal crack running down one of their basement walls. At first, it didn’t seem like much, but over time, the crack grew, and the wall began to bow slightly inward. This was a sign that the foundation wall was under pressure from the surrounding soil.

Understandably, the homeowner became concerned. They wanted to protect their home and make sure the problem didn’t get worse. That’s when they reached out to our team for a professional evaluation and some helpful guidance on what could be done.

After a thorough inspection, we recommended installing our PowerBrace Wall Support System. This system uses strong, zinc-coated steel beams that attach securely from the basement floor to the floor joists above. The PowerBrace system immediately stabilizes the wall to prevent any further movement, while also allowing for adjustments over time to help bring the wall back toward its original position.

Once the system was in place, the homeowner felt a huge sense of relief. Their basement wall was now supported, their foundation was protected, and they could feel confident knowing the problem had been properly addressed.

At the end of the day, our goal is always to help homeowners understand their foundation issues and find the best, most reliable solution for their home’s long-term safety and stability.
