PowerBrace Wall Repair Stabilizes Cracked Garage Foundation in Gilman, VT | Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
A homeowner in Gilman, Vermont, had a garage foundation wall with visible cracking and inward movement. The wall showed signs of stress from outside pressure, and the deflection was noticeable enough to raise concerns about long-term structural stability. Cracked and bowing foundation walls should not be ignored. When surrounding soil pressure pushes against a wall over time, the movement can worsen and lead to more serious structural issues if left unaddressed. Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems inspected the garage foundation wall and found a long section of concrete with visible cracking and inward bowing. The condition of the wall indicated that the foundation needed structural support to help prevent further movement.
Solution
To repair the problem, our team installed the PowerBrace™ wall repair system along the affected garage wall. These steel beams were placed at intervals across the wall to provide reinforcement and structural support.
Each brace was secured into position and fit tightly against the wall. The system was designed to help hold the wall in place and resist continued inward movement caused by outside pressure.
