During the inspection it was also noted that he had a couple bowing walls, threating the structure of his home. A PowerBrace system with support beams were offered to permanently stabilize the walls. PowerBraces are a patented I-Beam system that gives the option of tightening the system, improving the appearance of the wall, while stopping the wall from worsening.
