Before & After Photos

The home required work done to the basement as the walls began to buckle with the pressure of the soil pushing inward.

Advanced Basement Systems installed the waterproofing system years prior and came in to correct the buckling wall issue with the Power Brace Wall Repair System.

The system consists of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets and lagged into the concrete footing. This system is easily adjustable, allowing for tightening of the brace to attempt to push the wall back to its original position. This system doesn't involve any exterior excavation and installs quickly with minimal disruption to your basement space.

If you see cracks or the walls bucking, give Advanced Basement Systems a call for a free inspection. Don’t let this wait as it could cause further damage to the home!

Before

The home was showing the signs of bowing and shifting foundation walls. The stair step cracking occurs when the wall begins to bow but the reinforced corners are held in place. The reinforcement comes from the corner of the foundation wall providing an anchor to the bowing wall. Over time this condition could become worse requiring full foundation wall replacement.

After

Advanced Basement Systems installed a series of Geo Lock Channel Anchors fastened at the footing. The anchor plates are buried in the yard outside, about 12ft away from the foundation wall. They're attached to the channel with long threaded galvanized rods. This installation will halt further bowing and may straighten the existing wall over time.

Give Advanced Basement Systems a call if you see signs of wall cracking in your basement!

Problem: Entire foundation failing. Water seepage also.

Solution: Reconstruct foundation with poured concrete. Waterproof full basement and install sump pump with battery backup.

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.
