Don't settle for settlement in Great Cacapon, WV
Challenge
A homeowner in Great Cacapon, WV reached out to us in distress after noticing stair-step cracks in their block foundation and a troubling two-inch wall deflection. Recognizing the potential risk to the structural integrity of their home, our Customer Care Specialist quickly scheduled an inspection. Upon arrival, our System Designer conducted a thorough assessment and confirmed that the foundation had weakened significantly—posing safety concerns and requiring immediate attention.
Solution
To address the issue, we recommended and implemented the PowerBrace™ System, a proven solution for stabilizing compromised foundations. Our expert production team arrived fully equipped and custom-measured zinc-plated steel beams to fit the height of the basement. These beams were carefully installed from floor to ceiling and anchored securely using heavy-duty brackets at both the basement floor and the floor joists above.
The PowerBrace™ beams were strategically tightened to help counteract existing deflection and provide the potential for future adjustments—eliminating the need for further invasive repairs down the line. The installation resulted in a visibly stabilized foundation, resolving both the structural and cosmetic concerns. Most importantly, the homeowners were left with peace of mind, knowing their home was reinforced for long-term safety and resilience.
