Photo Album: Des Moines Basement Foundation Repair & Waterproofing

This was a job that required all of our talents. One wall in this homeowner's basement was so badly damaged it needed to be replaced. Two others were repairable with PowerBraces. We also did a perimeter waterproofing system to keep it dry and usable with our nice CleanSpace wall product to finish off the space.
