Challenge

A homeowner in Bethesda, MD, began noticing alarming signs of foundation trouble in their home. Visible cracks ran along the walls, and there were unsettling gaps forming between the ceiling and the walls. These warning signs caused significant concern about the structural integrity of their home, prompting them to reach out to NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair for help.

Once contacted, our team responded swiftly, arranging a comprehensive inspection to uncover the root cause of the issue. During the evaluation, it became evident that the foundation’s shifting was the culprit, resulting in the wall cracks and unsightly separations. The severity of the situation required immediate attention to avoid further damage, as prolonged foundation problems can compromise not only the safety of the home but also its long-term value.

Solution

To tackle the homeowner's foundation issues, our experts recommended the installation of the PowerBrace system, a cutting-edge solution renowned for its ability to stabilize and potentially straighten compromised walls without the need for external excavation.

1. Inspection and Custom Plan
Our System Design Specialist carefully examined the structural damage, ensuring a deep understanding of the foundation’s distress. Based on the findings, the PowerBrace system was selected as the ideal remedy for this specific issue.

2. PowerBrace Installation
The installation began with our experienced crew securing strong steel I-beams to the joists above the foundation walls. These beams immediately stabilized the walls, preventing any further shifting or bowing. A key benefit of the PowerBrace system is its adjustability, allowing gradual tightening over time to help straighten the walls back to their original position. Our team meticulously installed each beam, ensuring they were perfectly aligned for optimal performance.

3. Clean and Professional Execution
Throughout the project, our crew worked diligently to minimize disruption to the homeowner’s day-to-day life. Once the installation was complete, we left the workspace in pristine condition, ensuring the homeowner could instantly enjoy the enhanced security of their stabilized foundation.

The end result was dramatic. Not only did the foundation regain stability, but the once-damaging cracks and gaps began to close, restoring the home’s structural integrity. The homeowner’s peace of mind was completely renewed, knowing their property was now backed by a highly effective, long-lasting solution.
