Foundation Repair Photo Album: Wall reinforced with PowerBrace™ in LaFayette, GA
A homeowner in LaFayette, GA, contacted Master Services after discovering a horizontal crack in their basement wall, which they used for storage but planned to convert into a garage. Hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding soil had caused the wall to bow inward, raising concerns about structural stability. Before starting, we asked the homeowner to remove all belongings to ensure a safe workspace. Our team installed the PowerBrace™ system, featuring steel I-beams and brackets to stabilize the wall and allow gradual adjustments over time. The project was completed efficiently, providing the homeowner with a secure and stable basement ready for future upgrades.
