Foundation Repair Photo Album: Bowing Walls Repaired & Basement Waterproofed in Lincoln Park, MI

Project Manager: Sidney Hutcherson Foreman: Vernon Bryan This homeowner in Lincoln Park, Michigan contacted HomeSpec after they were finally ready to repair their basement. The foundation walls had cracks that would leak, and one wall was bowing inward. They were interested in getting the basement waterproofed so they could stop dealing with the water issues once and for all! HomeSpec first had to brace the bowing wall with the PowerBrace Wall Repair System – which consists of steel I-beams mounted to the wall to straighten it and prevent it from worsening. Then the cracks had to be sealed to prevent water intrusion, while carbon fiber straps were used to stabilize the other block walls. Lastly, the basement was waterproofed by installed a WaterGuard Drainage System and a TripleSafe Sump Pump!
