Basement Wall Repair Before & After Photos

These homeowners reached out to us with a serious foundation issue that needed to be taken care of fast. Our System Design Specialist was on-site quickly and found a wall that was bowing severely and needed immediate bracing. We got to work right away, installing our PowerBrace System to stop any further bowing. Over time, the braces can be tightened  to help push the wall back into place. If you’re seeing cracks in your block walls or noticing your walls buckling or tilting, give us a call, and we’ll let you know if our PowerBrace System is the right fit for your home. Best part? The inspection and estimate are totally FREE! 

This customer recently contacted us about the bowing walls in their newly purchased home. They noticed visible cracks and movement of their walls, which raised concerns about the structural integrity of their property. Our System Design Specialist recommended our innovative PowerBrace Wall Support System. To begin the process, our installation team first installed our top-of-the-line CleanSpace Wall System. This remarkable system consists of a bright, clean, and durable vapor barrier specifically designed for basement walls. It is a thick liner that is securely installed with drilled-in fasteners, that effectively covers any uneven or bumpy walls. Not only does it provide an economical solution to conceal unsightly walls, but it also prevents water vapor from seeping through and redirects any wall leaks into our WaterGuard Drain System. The highlight of our solution is the PowerBrace beam system, which we installed to permanently stabilize the foundation walls. These steel beams can be adjusted and tightened over time, effectively halting any further inward movement of the walls. In fact, they have the potential to reverse the effects of wall failure without the need for invasive drilling or digging. Our customer can rest assured that our system will not only address the current concerns with his bowing walls but also ensure the long-term structural integrity of the home.

Our previous customer in Mankato contacted Complete Basement Systems to address a cracked foundation wall in their basement.  We had installed the PowerBrace wall system on a different wall years ago and over time hydrostatic pressure builds and causes pressure on walls. 

This Mankato, MN homeowner was dealing with a basement that showed clear signs of ongoing moisture and structural stress. The concrete block walls had visible staining, dampness, and cracking, which are classic indicators of water intrusion and pressure from the surrounding soil. Over time, this moisture not only made the basement unpleasant to use, but also put the integrity of the foundation at risk. Without proper drainage or wall reinforcement, the problems were only going to get worse.

To permanently address both the water and structural concerns, our team installed a full basement protection system. We added WaterGuard along the perimeter to capture water at its entry point and direct it safely away before it could reach the basement floor. CleanSpace wall vapor barrier was installed to seal the walls, creating a bright, clean appearance while preventing moisture and vapor from entering the space. To stabilize and protect the foundation walls, we installed PowerBrace steel beams, reinforcing the walls and helping prevent any further movement.

The result is a basement that is dry, stable, and protected for the long term. This homeowner is now reassured, knowing their foundation is secure and their basement is ready for future use without the worry of water damage or structural issues, guaranteed.

Our PowerBrace Wall System will permanently stabilize your foundation walls.  Our project completed for our customer selling their home in Madison Lake, MN had a bowed and cracked wall.  That was a concern of potential buyers looking at this home and soon realized it needed to be fixed.
