Sure-Dry Case Studies: Power Braces in Silver Cliff, WI
Challenge
The goal was clear - these homeowners are trying to sell. The problem was also clear – in their basement, all four block walls were cracked, bowing, and moving inward. They needed a trustworthy contractor with a warrantied solution to have any chance of selling their home nestled on a lovely country hillside.
I came in and gave an inspection and careful measurements of the walls, which revealed inward wall deflection ranging from 1-2 inches. Even the four-foot high egress stair entrance block was failing.
We have three different ways to permanently stabilize a wall, and their home needed two of them.
Solution
Due to the construction of the home, the Supportworks Power Braces were the best option for the four walls and Carbon Armor for the three short, egress walls. As a company committed to constant improvement, I was proud to show them the brand new, exclusive bridge and level brackets that the Power Braces feature, which provide the opportunity to straighten the walls over time with no excavation.
Also, when our crew stabilizes a foundation wall, we put a 25 year fully transferable warranty on our work!
In just one day, we were able to restore value to their home so they can ask for their best price and get more interested buyers to take a look at the beautiful view they have to offer.
