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.
The basement walls under this home were bending and causing so many problems that the homeowners had to tear out existing interior walls to uncover problem areas. Once the block was fully exposed, we were able to install our steel PowerBraces to the wall that secure the blocks in place.
