Bowed and Cracked Basement Wall
Inward pressure of the soil surrounding the home had caused this basement wall to bow and crack.
After Installation
The large crack was covered with a Carbon Armor (Carbon Fiber) Patch with epoxy to help seal and heal the crack. To prevent the wall from bowing any further, we installed four PowerBrace Steel Beams that connect from the slab floor to the girders on top of the wall.

Bowed Basement Wall
You can see how the wall is bowed. The Steel Beam is perfectly vertical, but the top of the wall doesn't touch it because the center is sticking out like a pregnant belly.
