Before & After Photos

Mike noticed cracking in multiple places of his basement. He called us to fix the problem before it got worse. We installed CarbonArmor to the walls to keep them from moving even more. We chose this becuase the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System is a great solution for cracking foundation walls. CarbonArmor is made up of carbon fiber fabric strips that are 10 times stronger in tension than steel. These fabric strips are bonded to the wall with a high strength epoxy resin. There is no exterior excavation involved and they are installed quickly, and they wont impact the future of basement finishing!

This basement had a severly bowed wall. Horizontal cracking in a wall is often the first sign, but this was beyond that. We installed PowerBraces along the wall in order to help support the home above and prevent the wall from bowing any further. PowerBraces also come with a great tightening feature that can be used during dry periods to gradually tighten and perhaps straighten the wall bringing it back to its original position. The installed powerbraces prior to tightening show the severity of the bowing in the wall. Hopefully the wall can be straightened over time but at the very least, these homeowners can relax knowing that the PowerBraces will keep the the home supported properly and prevent the wall from eventually caving in.

We were called when this homeowner noticed a crack in their basement wall. The buckling wasn't too bad so we installed CarbonArmor to stabilize the wall. CarbonArmor is made of flexible carbon fiber straps that are secured to the wall with a high strength epoxy resin. The carbon fiber straps are 10 times stronger in tension than steel so that your walls will not have anymore movement. 

Evan has a wall in his basement that had a horizontal crack that is 3-4 feet long causing the wall to bow. We used the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to stabilize the basement wall. The System is made of flexible carbon fiber straps that are stronger in tension than steel. The straps are bonded to the interior face of the wall using a high strength resin. The CarbonArmor does not require exterior excavation, it installs quickly, and they won't impact future basement finishing.

One customer in Kalamazoo had a Foundation that was not so strong in their crawl space. This problem can easily lead to sagging floors, which is a huge safety hazard. As you can see, thsi previous foundation is not safe at all. So we replaced it with the best solution, SmartJacks. SmartJacks are adjustable, strong support systems that are perfect for girders and floor joists. It can hold over 60,000 pounds! This long-term solution made the foundation stronger than ever before.
