PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System

The PowerBrace^™ Wall Bracing System is designed to laterally support bowed, leaning and sheared foundation walls. It has been used with thousands of successful installations throughout the United States and Canada. PowerBrace is a patented system that, when installed properly, not only stabilizes foundation walls against further appreciable lateral movement but also has the potential to improve their position over time.

A steel beam is installed against the distressed wall. The bottom bracket is secured to the concrete floor with concrete screw anchors. The top bracket is secured to the floor joists with bolts. The top bracket is then tightened against the PowerBrace beam which generates positive pressure to the supported wall. Periodic retightening maintains this pressure which often results in the position of the wall improving over time.
