EverBrace vs. PowerBrace: Strengthening Foundations from the Inside Out

EverBrace vs. PowerBrace: Strengthening Foundations from the Inside Out

When it comes to repairing and stabilizing foundation walls, not all solutions are created equal. At Keystone Basement Systems, we use industry-leading products designed to permanently restore structural integrity—two of the most powerful being EverBrace and PowerBrace. While both systems are engineered to stabilize failing foundation walls, they each serve a unique purpose depending on the condition and type of wall movement your home is experiencing.

PowerBrace: Straightening and Stabilizing Bowing Walls

If your foundation walls are bowing, leaning, or cracking inward, the PowerBrace System is often the best solution. Made from strong steel I-beams, PowerBrace is designed to halt further movement and, in many cases, straighten the wall over time. The system anchors to the floor joists above and the concrete floor below, creating a custom-fit reinforcement that transfers pressure safely through your home’s structure.

Key benefits of PowerBrace:

• No exterior excavation required

• Adjustable system allows for gradual wall straightening

• Zinc coating prevents corrosion for long-term durability

• Installs quickly with minimal disruption

PowerBrace is perfect for homes where walls are still structurally sound but showing early to moderate signs of inward movement.

EverBrace: Rebuilding Severely Damaged Walls from the Inside

When a foundation wall is too far gone for traditional bracing, the EverBrace Wall Restoration System steps in. This system acts like an interior rebuild, transferring the load from the failing wall to a new steel and foam panel system. Once installed, EverBrace completely stabilizes and supports the structure, leaving behind a clean, finished appearance.

Key benefits of EverBrace:

• Replaces the strength of a fully rebuilt foundation wall

• Installs from the inside—no need for exterior excavation

• Custom-fit to any basement wall

• Restores structural integrity and peace of mind

EverBrace is ideal for homes where walls are crumbling, severely cracked, or bowing beyond repair—essentially offering a permanent, non-invasive replacement.

Choosing the Right Solution for Your Home

Both EverBrace and PowerBrace are proven systems backed by engineering and warranty support, but the right choice depends on your wall’s specific condition. Our foundation repair specialists perform a thorough inspection to determine the most effective and cost-efficient solution for your home.

At Keystone Basement Systems, we believe in strengthening homes from the inside out—because every solid home starts with a strong foundation.
