In Chicago, a homeowner was dealing with two serious basement problems at once: a foundation wall that had begun to bow inward and ongoing water intrusion during heavy rain. The leaning wall was a sign of increasing pressure from the surrounding soil, while the water entering the basement threatened to cause additional damage if left unresolved.
Our team developed a complete solution to address both issues. We installed the Steel PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System to stabilize and reinforce the bowed foundation wall, helping prevent further inward movement while allowing gradual wall improvement over time. To eliminate water intrusion, we also installed an interior drainage system to capture groundwater and safely direct it away from the foundation before it can enter the basement.
The result is a stronger, drier, and more secure foundation. With the Steel PowerBrace™ system providing permanent structural support and the interior drainage system protecting against future water intrusion, the homeowner can enjoy lasting peace of mind knowing both the structural and moisture issues have been addressed at their source.
