DBS received a call about leaning walls in Hinckley, MN that were concerning our clients. The home required that we stabilize walls along a side of the house from the inside and outside. Our design specialist found a quick solution to install PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System for support with the bowing wall. Bowing walls generally refer to walls that show cracks, lean in a certain direction, or show a weak foundation or structure issue - in some cases, several of these issues show. It’s important to get a design specialist to look at the bowing wall because it can lead to larger foundation problems and unstable walls, foundations, or floors.

Looking at the pre-production photo below, it shows the way the wall is leaning and beginning to crack in the base of the home.
