Crack Hidden Behind Drywall in Amherstburg Foundation

Sometimes homeowners are shocked to see what is behind their basement wall coverings, such as paneling or drywall. These Amherstburg, Ontario homeowners noticed:

-         Windows and doors were hard to open

-         Visible gaps between walls and floors and ceilings and walls

-         Cracks in the drywall near window and door frames

-         A slight slope in their floors

The problem? The scariest kind of crack: A horizontal crack and it was beginning to bow inwards.

We solved the problem with our The PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System.

In the "before" photo, you can see the tilt of the window frame is a result of a problem hidden behind the wall. 

We secured steel I-beams to the joists above the wall with heavy-duty steel brackets. The system not only stabilizes the wall and can often be tightened to help return the wall to its original position. The PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System does not require any exterior excavation and can be installed within just a couple of days.
