Before & After Photos

Our crews reinforced this bowing basement wall with the PowerBrace Wall Repair System. The PowerBrace consists of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. This system is easily adjustable, allowing for tightening of the brace to attempt to raise the wall back to its original position.

 A CarbonArmor project completed in Columbus, OH.

The walls were starting to show some sever cracking and separating, these carbon straps will support the walls and we also sealed off the existing cracks. 

This historic German Village home in Columbus, OH had a sagging kitchen addition with a mix of fieldstone and old porch concrete or brick for its foundation. Inspector Ryan recommended a stabilization solution, and Foreman Nate and his crew installed three SmartJack XT posts and a new support beam to lift and support the floor. To protect the space from moisture, they also sealed the ground with CleanSpace vapor barrier.

CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforced polymers which are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against your basement wall. The ArmorLock brackets bind and secure the CarbonArmor straps to your floor joists making the CarbonArmor solution fast, non-invasive and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls. and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls.

A bowing foundation wall is never a good thing as it can be a sign of foundation failure. This homeowner called us to see if we could fix it for him. The answer was yes! Our crew came out and installed our CarbonArmor Wall System. The cracks are sealed and the stronger than steel polymer straps are in place! This foundation is now secured and the homeowner is relieved.
