Photo Album: PowerBraces used to stabilize foundation walls in Lexington, KY
A Lexington, Kentucky homeowner was having problems with bowing walls in the basement. They called The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky to find a solution to this problem. They scheduled an appointment with Damon, a Certified Inspector, who recommended that the PowerBrace System is installed to resolve this problem for the homeowner.
PowerBraces are steel I-beams that are cut to size and secured tightly against a failing wall with brackets that are secured to the floors and floor joists. These I-beams immediately stabilize the walls and protect against any further movement. PowerBraces have an adjustable bracket that can be tightened over time to reverse wall failure.
PowerBraces restore your property value and give the homeowner peace of mind that now the foundation of their home is safe from further movement.
