Before & After Photos

Severe bowing wall in cambridge straightened by using Power braces. Also see case syudy with more photos 

Cayuga area is famous for bad soil conditions. Omni likes to call it "Haldimand Clay" When there is a wall crack in a poured foundation in this area, Our reps have to determine whether it is just a waterproofing job or it needs some structural attention as well. 

In this case, the crack was large enough and had some deflection in the wall as well that Phill recommended some carbon Armor stitches before waterproofing. The Carbon Armor stitch is Carbon Fibre fabrick which is epoxied to the wall across the crack to strengthen the wall from futher bowing (deflection) 

In these photos, the before and after the carbon armor is applied. They do not show the final waterproofing membrane applied over top. 

Sara in New Hamburg has a home with a badly bowing wall. She hired Omni Basement Systems to straighten this wall and also have some waterproofing done. 

 Greg has a home with a poured foundation wall that has some serious cracking. The concern is that it may be structural related. 

Omni Basement Systems used our very own Carbon Armor system from Supportworks to strengthen the wall so it will not tip in or bow. 

The Carbon Armor are 7" wide Carbon fiber strips that are epoxied to the wall. Also there are carbon armor straps that lock the wall to the floor joist system via the rim joist. 

Chris has a home in Caledonia, ON that is settling because of poor soil conditions. Alessio along with a P.Eng designed a system usung our Push Piers from Supportworks. 
the Push piers are large brackets that are attached to the fondation and galvanized steel tubes are push through them until they reach a specified soil density that will better support the home. Once all the piers are supported properly, hydraulic jacks can lift a house back into position. In this case, it lifted the house an full inch in some areas. 
The pictures below shows the step cracks, which are tell tale signs of a settling foundation, being closed up. NO mortor was used on these cracks
