When Foundation Walls Push Back: How EverBrace™ and PowerBrace™ Keep Homes Standing Strong
When Foundation Walls Push Back: How EverBrace™ and PowerBrace™ Keep Homes Standing Strong
At Keystone Basement Systems, we’ve seen it all—cracked, bowing, and buckling basement walls that threaten not just the foundation, but the safety and value of your home. That’s why we offer cutting-edge wall repair solutions like EverBrace™ and PowerBrace™, designed to stop wall failure in its tracks and restore long-term stability to your home.
What Causes Foundation Walls to Bow or Crack?
Basement walls bear the weight of your home and the pressure from the soil outside. Over time, moisture buildup, expanding clay soils, or frost heave can create hydrostatic pressure that forces your walls inward. Without intervention, this can lead to serious structural issues, including total wall collapse.
Two Powerful Systems. One Clear Solution.
PowerBrace™ Wall System – Ideal for Moderate to Severe Bowing
The PowerBrace™ system is a patented, zinc-coated steel I-beam solution that anchors to your concrete floor and connects to your floor joists above. It’s engineered to stabilize bowing basement walls, and in many cases, it can restore the wall back to its original position over time.
Benefits of PowerBrace™:
- No outside excavation needed
- Tightens over time to potentially straighten walls
- Rust-resistant and clean appearance
- Professionally installed with minimal disruption
EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System – For Walls Too Far Gone
When walls are severely compromised or even shearing at the base, the EverBrace™ Wall System is the answer. It combines steel I-beams with steel panels and spray foam backing, transferring the load from the failing wall to the new structural supports—essentially creating a new wall inside your existing wall.
EverBrace™ is perfect for:
- Severely cracked or crumbling basement walls
- Walls with significant shearing or inward movement
- Older stone or block foundations that can’t be braced with traditional systems
