Brandon & Shelby of Marshall, MN were in the process of selling a home when they noticed a section of the basement wall was bowing inward.  

Overtime block foundation can develop cracks due to hydrostatic pressure against the foundation wall which can cause bowing.  The solution is our patented PowerBrace support system to stabilize the wall from further movement.  Our customer can now sell the home given peace of mind.

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.

Job Stories From Marshall, MN
Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in Marshall, MN

This homeowner was dealing with ongoing moisture problems and visible wall damage in their basement. The block foundation walls showed signs of water seepage, staining, and structural stress. The homeowner wanted a permanent solution to keep the basement dry and ensure the foundation’s long-term stability.

 

Our inspection revealed several issues:

  • Water intrusion through the foundation walls and floor joint

  • Efflorescence and mold staining caused by constant dampness

  • Inward bowing of the block walls, indicating foundation pressure

  • Deteriorating floor coating and evidence of previous water pooling

 

To permanently solve both the moisture and structural concerns, our team installed a complete Basement Systems waterproofing and stabilization solution.

CleanSpace Wall System

We installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier along the basement walls. This heavy-duty liner prevents moisture and vapor from entering the living space while channeling any wall seepage down into the drainage system. CleanSpace also gives the basement a clean, bright, finished appearance.

WaterGuard Interior Drainage System

Next, we installed the WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter of the basement. This system captures water leaking through the walls or floor joint and directs it to the sump pump for safe removal. The system was sealed with fresh concrete for a smooth, durable finish.

PowerBrace Wall Stabilization System

To address the bowing and cracking walls, we reinforced the foundation with the PowerBrace system. These galvanized steel I-beams stabilize the foundation walls and can be adjusted over time to help straighten them back to their original position, providing both safety and peace of mind.

The Result

 

The transformation is dramatic. The basement is now dry, clean, and structurally secure. The combination of CleanSpace, WaterGuard, and PowerBrace ensures this homeowner no longer has to worry about water damage or foundation movement.


It’s a complete, permanent solution for a healthier home.
