PowerBraces Stop Bowing Walls in Devils Lake, ND

Thursday, October 3rd, 2024 by Mattie Slavin

Challenge

A homeowner in Devils Lake, ND, was cleaning their basement when they discovered their foundation was cracked and suffering significantly. Instead of ignoring the issue, the homeowners knew they needed to take action fast. The homeowner looked into "bowing wall repair around Devils Lake, ND" and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ian to the home.

Solution

After Ian arrived at the home, he began inspecting the interior and exterior foundation. Following his inspection, Ian determined the foundation was showing signs of early wall failure. To stop the wall failure from continuing, Ian recommended permanently stabilizing the foundation. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they decided to go ahead with his recommendations. Ian sent the plans to the office to be finalized, and then they were sent to our Foreman, Roel, and his crew. Once they received the plans, Roel and his crew traveled to the home. Roel and his crew arrived at the home and started the PowerBrace installation. PowerBraces is a wall repair system that is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. Roel and his crew installed 19 total PowerBraces, 7 on the east wall, 5 on the south wall, and 7 on the west wall. Once all the PowerBraces were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent, hard work completed by the crew.
