Before
On the outside the home looks solid and in very good repair. Upon further inspection, the basement shows signs of shearing in the middle of the walls which indicates bowing in the structure. The walls at this stage have not shifted at the top or bottom but could eventually weaken and become a structural issue.
After
A combination of Power Braces and Carbon Armor have been used to brace the walls which will prevent any further bowing. This will allow the homeowner to begin finishing the basement knowing the walls are solid!
Give Advanced Basement Systems a call if you suspect your basement walls need help.
Problem: The wall is not settling but it is pushing out towards the fence.
Solution: Needs a retaining wall and a basic french drain system.

This home in Woodstock, ON had basement seepage and slight bow (buckle or lean) in the block foundation wall. We can use our Carbon Armor Systems to stop the wall from moving any further. The silver vapour barrier is part of the waterproofing system and is not necessary in order to structurally stabilize the wall.
We also installed a new TripleSafe Sump Pump System, replacing the old and unreliable sump.
Before:
This home in Pain Court, ON had elevated levels of radon gas and an outdated sump system that lacked proper sealing and efficiency. The homeowners were concerned about long-term health risks and water management reliability.
After:
Our team installed a professional radon mitigation system to safely vent harmful gases outside the home, bringing levels down to a safe range. We also upgraded the sump pump system with a sealed lid and a high-efficiency unit, improving both air quality and drainage performance. The home is now safer, healthier, and better protected from moisture issues.
Problem: Unlevel concrete poses several problems for homeowners:
Solution: We raised and levelled the sunken concrete slabs with PolyLevel.
