PowerBrace Foundation Wall Bracing Systems

Evergreen Basement Systems is Virginia's leader in foundation stabilization and repair technology in the greater Lynchburg, Roanoke, Staunton, Waynesboro, Charlottesville, Blacksburg,
and central Virginia areas.

PowerBrace is engineered to be the leading solution to correcting cracking tile, block, wood, or poured concrete foundations in Virginia. Installed with minimal disturbance of the area, it provides a cost-effective, reasonable solution for your foundation repair needs.

Wall shear is a very common problem in the Virginia area, and it can mean serious damage to block wall foundations if left to worsen over time. When wall shear occurs, a separation appears along the top of the first coarse of block, causing the entire wall to begin to creep inward. 

As the foundation wall and outside soils experience constant movement, expansion, and contraction, cracks and bowing can appear on these foundation walls. Unless stabilized, the damage will eventually move beyond the scope of possible repair.

The patented PowerBrace wall reinforcement system is able to reverse the process of bowing and buckling in foundation walls. By reinforcing them and even moving the wall back to its original position over time, this simple, effective solution makes it possible to repair the walls without excavation or interior work. 

It installs with no need to remove concrete from the basement floor or replace the foundation entirely. Instead, steel I-beams are installed with PowerBrace™ brackets, transforming traditional beams into the most reliable bracing system in the industry!

When compared to Virginia wall anchor systems that rely on shifting, moving strata in order to stabilize the walls of the foundation, the PowerBrace instead taps into the natural strength of the concrete floor and floor joists above in order to stabilize the walls. 

This economical and practical design eliminates the possibility of wall shear and bowing, making it the wisest choice for repairing a cracked or bowed foundation!

PowerBrace fastens to the floor joists:

• Requires no digging in the yard 


• Requires no landscape removal


• Does not anchor into the shifting ground (the cause of the problem)

PowerBrace anchors into the concrete floor:

• Uses a specially designed floor bracket eliminating the mess involved in the removal and replacement of concrete

PowerBrace reverses the forces of nature:

• Over time, PowerBrace can return the wall to its original position


• PowerBrace will hold the wall in place preventing any future movement
