Water seepage was causing increased pressure to crack and bow this block wall inward. To avoid a wall collapse, the homeowner hired us to install our carbon fiber strips that stabilize the wall.
The pressure on the back wall of this basement started pushing the block inward. To keep the wall from collapsing, we stabilized it with our steel beams PowerBraces. These brackets can be adjusted and keep the wall from continuing to bow.
We stabilized this block basement wall with our CarbonArmor strips that adhere to the wall’s surface. These strips reinforce the wall to handle the exterior pressure that was previously turning the blocks and risking a wall collapse.
When problems with the foundation of this home occurred, the change in pressure and support resulted in cracking walls. These type of block walls, when the home starts to shift, crack easily and after we supported the foundation with piers, we were able to lift the home and release the pressure. This lift closed the cracked wall and released the stress put on it.
Using our GeoLock Wall Anchor System, our team permanently stabilized this homeowners buckling and cracked foundation wall.
