Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting and straightening a framed wall includes a plurality of beams, a mounting plate, a bolt, and a pusher. The mounting plate is secured to the beam and the bolt is threadably secured to the mounting plate. The bolt is received by the pusher. When tightened, the bolt applies pressure to the pusher which in turn applies pressure to the framed wall. Alternatively, a plurality of mounting plates and pushers may be used to apply pressure to a cross beam and thereby efficiently apply pressure to a plurality of framed wall beams. By tightening the bolt, the user can apply pressure to the beam and straighten or retain the wall. As the wall shifts during periods of correction, the bolt may be re-tightened to apply additional pressure to the wall.

Abstract: A modular egress window well structure which is constructed of structurally identical walls that interlock and attach to the foundation of a building via a termination strip. The identical wall members allow for ease of manufacturing and installation of the egress window well. The method of installation comprises removing soil away from the foundation of a building, securing the termination of strips to the foundation, assembling the egress window well and then backfilling the soil around the structure.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting and straightening a wall includes two secured brackets, a beam extending between the brackets and the wall, the beam being comparable in length to the walls height. In between the beam and one of the brackets, a holding bracket is placed which includes a retaining ring. A jack extends between the secured bracket and holding bracket and is used to apply pressure to the beam and thereby to the wall. The jack may include a bolt inserted through the secured bracket to contact the holding bracket inside the retaining ring and a nut which is located on the bolt in between the holding bracket and secured bracket. By tightening the bolt, the user can apply pressure to the beam and straighten or retain the wall. As the wall shifts during periods of correction, the bolt may be re-tightened to apply additional pressure to the wall.

Abstract: The PowerBrace system gives a positive solution to basement wall problems. When the wall cracks and bulges are due to freeze or hydrostatic preasure, PowerBrace can hold it from further movement and in most cases straighten it. By tightening the top bracket the PowerBrace system puts preasure on the top of the beam and straightens the wall. This movement is usually gradual as the system is retightened. Unlike many other wall repair systems the PowerBrace system does not rely on questionable soils outside the wall to hold the wall, nor does it put to much stress on the beam. Any bending of the main beam constitutes a failure in the system. By anchoring to the concrete basement floor and to the solid floor joist system, the PowerBrace system is solid and will not be aloud to shift or fail. the PowerBrace system solves problems relating to the sheering effect at the base of the wall caused by hydrostatic preasure, as well as any other wall movement.
