In Lithopolis, OH, a residential property faced troubling foundation issues within its basement. The basement walls were displaying clear signs of structural deterioration, including the presence of cracks and noticeable bowing. In situations where the installation of wall anchors isn't feasible, often due to factors like property line restrictions or adverse soil conditions, our team turns to the reliable solution of power brace brackets.

The top brackets are then fastened to the floor joists above. By utilizing turning adjustments, steady pressure is exerted on the I-beam, gradually coaxing the wall back to its original position over time.
