The large horizontal cracks in Caroline's basement were clear signs that the wall had begun to bow and buckle! To help stabilize the wall before it got worse, Frank's Basement Systems installed several I-Beams to add counterpressure and prevent further inward movement.
Stabilized and waterproofed is how Florence can describe her basement! After struggling with water and a bowing wall in this 200-year-old basement, she finally had enough! Frank's Basement Systems helped her achieve the clean, dry basement she wanted by installing several I-Beams to stabilize the walls, the FlowGuard drainage system, and a SuperSump to help keep the basement dry!
This homeowner in Grand Island, NY, called in because they noticed foundation problems with their home. The homeowner noticed their basement wall bowing inwards, as well as a horizontal crack that went the length of their wall that commonly leaked water whenever it rained. Since the homeowner did not know where the water was coming from and the bowing wall was cause for immediate concern, they called Frank's.
To combat their wet basement and bowing wall, our crew came in and installed our patented PowerBrace I-Beam foundation repair system, which can actually be tightened with annual maintenance to straighten out the wall. This homeowner will never have to worry about water seepage again.
A total of (5) five primed steel I beams were installed in this basement to improve its structural integrity.
Those red beams do add a nice pop of color to Karen’s basement, but they also help support that bowing basement wall! A bulge and horizontal cracks were telltale signs that the issue was in her basement and was poised to shift. Now, with several exact-placed I-Beams, Frank’s Basement Systems installed the wall, which will support it and help stop any further inward movement!
