A Davenport, IA Home With Quarter Thick Cracks Fixed With PowerBrace

A homeowner in Davenport, IA had a thicker than a quarter crack running through their foundation wall in their basement. The crack caused the wall to lean inward and bow inside the house. The crack has grown in size over time and the homeowner was more than ready to take care of the issue. They called MidAmerica Basement Systems and we were more than happy to help. A Design Specialist came out to take a look and give the homeowner the best recommendation possible to fix the issue. Installing a PowerBrace was the way to go. 

There are many advantages to having a PowerBrace installed within your home. The first advantage is that it does not require any heavy equipment inside the home to install the beams. When installing the beams it will not disrupt any of your lawn or landscaping outside of the home. Each beam is a zinc-plated system which will look great in your home and it will not rust over time. Most importantly, it can straighten walls over time potentially reversing the wall failure.

No more bowing wall worries in mind in this homeowner's home thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team. If you too are having issues with a cracked or bowing wall, do not hesitate to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. We would be more than happy to send a Design Specialist out to come to take a look and give you a free, no-obligation estimate. Contact us today!
