Basement Repair Company in Pleasureville, Kentucky

When a block foundation wall bows inward, the first sign of movement is usually horizontal cracking between the mortar. This horizontal crack is normally right where the frost line is. The frost line is how deep the ground freezes in the winter. Winter cycles can exert a lot of external pressure on a foundation wall, and if not cared for, can cause walls to collapse. For this basement in Pleasureville, Kentucky, we installed our PowerBrace beam system to ensure the wall stays upright. Our PowerBraces are coated in zinc, which prevents rusting. They also come with special floor joist brackets to prevent damage to the floor joists in the ceiling. Lastly, PowerBraces may even be able to straighten walls back out over time under the right circumstances. After the project was completed, the homeowner was relieved to know that their basement wall is now safe.
