Basement Wall Repair Before & After Photos

Excelsior homeowners had walls that were cracked and bowed, which is a major concern for the foundation of any home. They worked with System Design Specialist Ryan Brenner to find a solution that solved this problem, and helped them to accomplish the goals for their home. Crew Leader Rodney Pfarr and his team worked to install the system, and to ensure that these homeowners felt comfortable with how everything works to keep their basement dry, livable, and safe!

Homeowners in Chanhassen, MN noticed a perfectly straight crack on their unfinished foundation wall in their basement.  Concerned about what they had seen, they did research online for companies specializing in foundation wall repair and scheduled a FREE estimate with Complete Basement Systems.

A representative determined after the inspection that the wall had movement which caused the crack in the foundation to appear.  The foundation movement was caused by moisture and frost that interact with the soil around the home and when the soil expands it results in constant inward force on the foundation wall until it becomes so much pressure which is why the cracks and bowing happened.

The solution is simple.  Our representative showed the homeowners our interior fix using the PowerBrace System.  The zinc plated system is installed to support and stabilize the foundation wall from not incurring any further movement and with minimal maintenance can potentially straighten the wall back into place.

Austin, MN homeowner was experiencing water in their finished basement and noticed a bowing foundation wall.  The solution was to install an interior waterproofing system along the perimeter of the home, a vapor barrier on the walls to prevent moisture and mold and for the bowing foundation wall, steel I-beams were installed to support and stabilize from any further movement. 

This basement wall was showing some concerning horizontal cracks. Over time, pressure from the soil outside the foundation can push against basement walls, causing them to crack and move inward.

While cracks like these can be alarming for homeowners, the good news is that there are solutions designed to stabilize the wall and help prevent the problem from getting worse.

Our team installed PowerBrace Wall Supports along the foundation wall to provide the strength and support it needed. These heavy-duty steel beams help stabilize the wall and can be adjusted over time if needed.

Now, the homeowner has a stronger, more secure foundation wall and peace of mind knowing the problem has been properly addressed.
