Basement Wall Repair Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Hector, MN called us with some water intrusion and bowing walls in their basement. When walls are bowing in, it is usually due to hydrostatic pressure from too much water building up against the outside of the walls, or the soil that is around your property swells and exerts pressure that forces the foundation wall inward. Bowed or leaning walls can cause very serious structural damage if not corrected.

After discussing the options available with the homeowners, it was decided we would install our PowerBrace Wall Support System to permanently stabilize the walls. These beams are custom-fit to your basement height and tightly secured against the wall with brackets that are anchored to the basement floor below and first-floor framing above. The braces are tightened over time, slowly pushing the wall back to the correct positition.

We also installed an UltraSump3, WaterGuard drain system and discharge with IceGuard. This will ensure a dry, safe basement for these homeowners.

Our customer David C. in Worthington, MN noticed some wall cracks develop on his foundation wall and was getting water in the basement as well.  He took to the internet in search of a company and found Complete Basement Systems.  

We installed our patented PowerBrace System to permanently stabilize his foundation walls with zinc plated steel beams.  Our promise is that this PowerBrace System will immediately stabilize your foundation walls and permanently protect them against any further movement and comes with a lifetime structural warranty.

Bowed and cracked foundation wall for our customer in Avoca, MN.  Our crew leader installed zinc coated, steel I-beams to support the block foundation wall. 

This homeowner had block walls in the basement that were bowing. They were concerned that if they let it get too much worse they would end up with major foundation issues. Which is a completely valid concern. If not corrected, the walls can bow to the point that they collapse. Obviously, this is a major structural issue. Our PowerBrace System is a series of beams that are custom fit to your basement. They are designed to be tightened over time to actually push the walls back to their upright position.

Let us help your bowing walls with our patented PowerBrace System. Give us a call today to set up an inspection with our Certified Design Specialist.

This homeowner was referred to us by a trusted friend. She had leaning and bowing walls in the basement, with a lot of cracking. Cracking in a block wall is a sign that the wall is moving. When your basement walls are moving, there is a danger of structural failure as the wall can eventually collapse in.

We knew our PowerBrace System was a great fit for her issues. We measure the wall height of your basement and cut the PowerBrace beam to fit. The bottom of the beam is then anchored to the floor. We install a top bracket to the first-floor framing, and secure the beam. Over time, the beams can be tightened to straighten the wall over time. 

Our crew can install PowerBraces year round, and generally complete the project in just a day or 2. There is a product warranty as well as our service warranty to give you all the peace of mind we can.
