In Pittsburgh, PA, this home faced a challenge many know too well—a cracked and bowing basement wall compromising both its stability and the homeowner’s peace of mind. As shown, our Keystone Basement Systems team stepped in with the EverBrace and PowerBrace solutions to effectively stabilize and strengthen the foundation. By installing these systems, we transformed a troubling basement concern into a secure and lasting foundation, safeguarding the homeowner's investment and enhancing their quality of life. We're here to redefine the contractor experience with dedication and skill.

This customer called us because they thought they had a slightly bowed wall situation but they did not realize it had progressed as much as it did. If you look closely at the first picture, you will notice that they have aggressive bottom shear which is an end stage warning sign before wall collapse. Fortunately, KBS has well trained inspectors like Chris Bailey who noticed this problem right away and knew that the EverBrace solution would be the perfect option to avoid the costly and highly disruptive process of rebuilding the foundation. 

THE EVERBRACE WALL RESTORATION SYSTEM from Foundation Supportworks® permanently stabilizes even the most extreme failing foundation walls and protects against future damage. The EverBrace system offers a strong, durable and affordable solution for failing, deteriorating, bowed or cracked foundation walls. Steel corrugated panels span between steel I-beams to strengthen the existing structure. A specialized rigid foam is injected behind the steel panels, filling voids between the existing wall and panels, transferring the load from the failing wall to the new support system.

Our expert crew of Juan Pantojas and Scott Booth were able to do a great job of installing the EverBrace system and were able to give that WOW experience for this customer!

The PowerBrace System was used to permanent stabilize this customers bowing and cracked concrete block wall.
