Photo Album: PowerBraces to stabilize a bowing wall in Melbourne, KY
We installed PowerBraces for a homeowner in Melbourne, Kentucky to stabilize and possibly resolve a wall that was bowing in the basement of their home.
A PowerBrace is a steel I-beam that is secured tightly against a bowing wall and is attached with brackets to the floor and floor joists. The PowerBrace immediately stabilizes the wall and prevents it from further movement. There is an adjustable bracket on the PowerBrace that can be tightened over time to possibly reverse the wall failure.
