Bowing Basement Walls Stabilized in Ypsilanti, MI

An Ypsilanti, MI homeowner wanted to sell their house. Unfortunately, no one was purchasing due to the condition of the foundation. There were cracks throughout the basement walls and they were bowing, showing the foundation was unstable. This homeowner was uncertain about what the options to fix bowing walls were and wanted an expert opinion. They scheduled an appointment with one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, Jeremiah, to learn more.

When Jeremiah arrived for the free inspection, he conversed with the homeowner about their concerns and goals. He then jotted down notes on the condition of the foundation walls, including measurements and his ideas for solutions. He returned to the homeowner to construct a repair plan together. They ultimately decided that installing the PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System would be the best to ensure the foundation was stabilized. These steel beams would prevent the bowing basement walls from moving further. A foreman named Jon led a HomeSpec crew in the installation and a plumber named Rick adjusted any pipes that aligned with the repair plan. The homeowner was happy with the completed project!
