This family lived in their home for 35 years without any signs of settling. Over time, and due to a variety of factors – they eventually noticed small cracks and mold starting to grow along the floor of their basement.  They knew these were signs that their foundation may need repair. 

Luckily, they called TerraFirma.  One of our System Design Specialists came out to their home for a free consultation and recommended we install an EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System.

Many foundation repair options, including anchors and steel beams, have difficulty being used with some types of wall construction such as brick, clay block, fieldstone, or even highly deteriorated and broken poured concrete or concrete block. Such repair options provide points of support to specific areas of a foundation wall and, therefore, still rely on some strength from the existing wall to distribute the resisting force.

The EverBrace™ system allows you to keep your existing foundation walls by permanently “bracing” them against the pressure exerted by the surrounding soil. This essentially gives you the safety and security of a new foundation without having to replace your existing foundation. Plus, each installation is customized for your home, meaning existing windows and doors won’t be covered up. This system is zinc-coated, so there is no need to worry about rust or corrosion.

The homeowners were very pleased with the completion of their project and were happy they didn’t have to worry about cracks and moisture.  They now have peace of mind moving forward knowing their basement is protected, and the value of their home restored.
