PowerBraces Stabilize Foundation in Tracy, MN

David K. in Tracy, MN had some cracking and severely bowing basement walls. He was concerned about the stability of his home and knew he needed to have a professional take a look before it was too late. He contacted American Waterworks after he saw our sign in his neighbor’s yard. He met with one of our Design Specialists who determined that the foundation walls had moved inward due to the expansive soils and hydrostatic pressure put on the walls from outside. 

Our production crew was successfully able to stabilize David’s foundation by installing 11 PowerBraces around the foundation of the home. They started the installation by securing brackets into the floor as well as the rim joists. Then, they installed the PowerBraces into the brackets and tightened them as far as they could go. PowerBraces do not require outside excavation so it is less invasive than other foundation repair options. The PowerBraces not only permanently stabilized David’s foundation, but they also provide the potential for his walls to straighten back to their original position.
