Installing the PowerBrace™ Wall System
1st - Cutting Wall Braces
The PowerBrace™ utilizes robust steel I-beams as the foundation of its wall repair system. These I-beams, along with their accompanying support hardware, feature a specialized rust-resistant zinc coating. This coating ensures that your system maintains its appearance and performance for decades to come.
Our team of foundation experts will assess the number of PowerBrace™ supports needed for your wall repair. Before installation, each PowerBrace™ support must be accurately cut to size.
Using the wall height of your basement as a guide, we’ll precisely cut each beam to the correct height for your specific needs.
2nd - Securing The Floor Joist Hardware
Following that, the top of each brace is secured to a floor joist near the mudsill at the top of the wall. A specially designed bracket, featuring a large-diameter bolt for adjustment and tightening post-installation, is bolted to the floor joist.
A PowerBrace™ installation is designed not to cause damage to your floor framing. To guarantee the effective performance of this wall repair system, your foundation contractor will assess the strength of your floor joists before recommending this repair strategy.
3rd - Fine-Tuning The PowerBrace™ Positions
The PowerBrace™ Foundation Wall System achieves optimal performance when each I-beam is perfectly plumb or vertical. The contractor will use a level to meticulously adjust the position of each beam in preparation for the subsequent steps.
At Premier Basement Systems, we are committed to the enduring quality of every installation we undertake. We back each PowerBrace™ installation with our 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects, as well as our installation warranty, ensuring your peace of mind.
4th - Attaching Braces To The Floor
To finalize the installation of your PowerBrace™ System, each beam will be affixed to your concrete foundation floor using a specialized bolt-in-place bracket.
Unlike other foundation wall repair methods that are installed from the inside of the foundation walls, the PowerBrace™ System spans the entire height of the foundation walls. This feature makes the PowerBrace™ system well-suited for repairing walls that bow and buckle from the middle.
Moreover, the PowerBrace™ can address walls that are sliding inward from the bottom or tilting inward from the top.
5th - Straighten Walls
The PowerBrace™ System features a distinctive, patented adjustment mechanism that sets it apart from any other I-beam foundation wall repair system.
The bracket securing each I-beam to a floor joist incorporates a lengthy bolt that can be gradually tightened over time to advance the I-beam. This process can encourage a bowed or buckled foundation wall to return to its original vertical and straight position. However, the straightening potential is contingent upon various factors, including soil conditions outside the foundation.
