Crumbling Brick Wall Stabilized in Story City, IA

This homeowner had been concerned about the condition of his west wall for over 30 years. He didn't want the next owner of him home to worry about this problem as well, so he decided to enlist the help of professionals.

We sent System Design Specialist Nick Wessling to inspect the west wall for damage as well as suggest a solution that would effectively strengthen the home's foundation wall. Nick found that the west wall of the home has been slowly failing over the last 30 years and that this was a visible problem even from the outside of the home; In fact, a window had broken because it was not supported by this wall. He suggested to the homeowner that a wall repair brace should be utilized in order to support and stabilize the wall over time and the homeowner was very happy with this idea. One of our installation teams came to this home and started to stabilize the wall utilizing PowerBraces to push the wall back upright overtime. After that, they supported the failing interior wall by using SmartJacks to combat the problem of crumbling bricks on the wall.

The homeowner was very impressed with the team's installation and with the solutions that Nick designed. Check out the newly supported home!
