Bowing Basement Walls are Stabilized for Home in Rock Island, IL

Austin was having issues with large foundation cracks in his basement and reached out to the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. Mac evaluated his situation and offered him a PowerBrace system. PowerBraces are galvanized steel I-Beam that permanently stabilized and stop the walls from worsening. The patented tightening system allows for the beams to be tightened over time, giving the walls the possibility to straighten. For additional and proper support, crossbeams were installed with the PowerBrace systems, giving the extremely bowed area extra strength. Austin now has a system that stabilizes his foundation, and prevents it from worsening.
