Foundation Repair Photo Album: Reinforcing the walls of a foundation in Boucherville, Qc
Our PowerBrace beams reinforce and straighten the wall of a foundation in Boucherville, Qc
Problem: One of the foundation walls of Mr. Bradette's house has slanted inward about 1 to 2 inches. If the wall is not reinforced, it could collapse completely.
Cause: What caused this problem is the soil and water pressure exerted on the foundation wall. Unable to withstand the pressure, he began to tilt inward.
Solution: Our experts installed our PowerBrace beams. They strengthen the problematic wall and allow it to be straightened over time so that the wall can return to its original position.
With this solution, Mr. Bradette can have peace of mind.
