Bracing Your Bowing, Buckling Foundation Walls
Sub-par I-beam systems will rust and deteriorate over time. The PowerBrace™ system includes a zinc-coating that protects it from this kind of corrosion.
When possible, we recommend that you repair a bowing, buckling wall with Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchors.
However, this wall anchor system requires access to the earth outside of the foundation. Sometimes, property line issues eliminate this as an option.
When outside access is impossible, ask our certified foundation specialists to explain the advantages of the PowerBrace™ System. Our experts will be able to examine your foundation and determine of this repair strategy will work for you.
The PowerBrace™ employs a unique, patented approach to stabilizing and straightening bowed and buckled foundation walls over time.

Installing the PowerBrace™ Wall System
The PowerBrace™ can be installed with no disruption to outside soils or landscaping. This foundation wall system installs quickly in your home, immediately and permanently halting the inward movement of your foundation walls once installation is complete.
Cutting Wall Braces
The PowerBrace™ is a wall repair system based on strong steel I-beams. The I-beams and their support hardware have a special rust-resistant zinc coating to ensure that your system will look and perform like new for decades to come.
Our foundation experts will determine how many PowerBrace™ supports are required for your wall repair. Before a PowerBrace™ support is installed in your home, it must be cut to size.
Based on the wall height of your basement, we will cut each beam to the appropriate height.
Securing The Floor Joist Hardware
Next, the top of each brace is attached to a floor joist near the mudsill at the top of the wall. The specially designed bracket is bolted to the floor joist and contains a large-diameter bolt for adjusting and tightening after the installation.
A PowerBrace™ installation will not damage your floor framing. To ensure proper performance of this wall repair system, one of our certified foundation contractors will inspect the strength of your floor joists prior to recommending this repair strategy.
Fine-Tuning The PowerBrace™ Positions
The PowerBrace™ Foundation Wall System works best when each I-beam is perfectly plumb or vertical. The contractor will use a level to fine-tune the position of each beam in preparation for the next step.
At Mount Valley Foundation Services, Inc. , we take pride in the lasting quality of each of our installations. We stand by each PowerBrace™ installation with our 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects, as well our installation warranty.
Attaching Braces To The Floor
To complete the installation of your PowerBrace™ System, each beam will be attached to your concrete foundation floor with a special, bolt-in-place bracket.
Unlike other foundation wall repair methods that install from the inside of the foundation walls, the PowerBrace™ System spans the entire height of the foundation walls. This makes the PowerBrace™ system suitable for repairing walls that bow and buckle from the middle.
Additionally, the PowerBrace™ can repair walls that are sliding inwards from the bottom or tilting inwards from the top.
Straighten Walls
The PowerBrace™ System includes a unique, patented adjustment mechanism that is unlike any other I-beam foundation wall repair system.
The bracket that anchors each I-beam to a floor joist includes a long bolt that can be tightened over time to advance the I-beam. This can force a bowed or buckled foundation wall back toward is original vertical & straight position. Straightening potential depends on several factors, including soil conditions outside the foundation.
