Carolina Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In Winston-Salem, NC, this homeowner was dealing with a basement wall that showed clear signs of structural stress. Interior stairstep cracks and exterior horizontal cracking revealed a slightly bowed wall early indicators of foundation failure that can worsen over time.

To address these symptoms, our team installed a proven solution: steel I-beam wall reinforcement. These beams provide immediate stabilization and prevent further inward movement, restoring peace of mind and structural integrity to the space. The clean, reinforced finish is a long-term solution to the pressure being exerted from the soil outside the home.

This transformation not only secured the wall but also helped preserve the value and safety of the home. Another strong save by Carolina Basement Systems. 

In Winston-Salem, NC, this homeowner was dealing with a severely cracked and bowing basement wall. The stair-step crack pattern and shifting near the window were telltale signs of foundation pressure and inward wall movement common symptoms of hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil pushing against the exterior.

To stop the wall from worsening and permanently stabilize the structure, our team installed a wall anchor system. These galvanized steel anchors are designed to counteract external pressure and gradually straighten the wall over time.

As seen in the "after" photo, the steel plates are now securely anchored along the problem wall, reinforced at the base with fresh concrete for a long-lasting hold. What was once a vulnerable and concerning crack is now a fortified basement wall ready to stand the test of time.

Another Winston-Salem home made safer with expert structural repair!

This Winston-Salem, NC home was showing signs of foundation settlement, including sinking along the chimney and shifting soil around the base of the structure. These symptoms are common when unstable soils can no longer support the weight of a home, leading to cracks, uneven settling, and long-term structural risks.

To restore stability, our crew installed Push Piers beneath the foundation. Push Piers are driven deep into load-bearing soil or bedrock, bypassing weak surface soils and permanently stabilizing the structure. Once installed, the foundation is lifted and supported, preventing further settlement and protecting the integrity of the home.

With the installation of Push Piers, this Winston-Salem property is now secure, structurally sound, and protected against future foundation settlement. Homeowners in Winston-Salem can count on our foundation repair solutions to safeguard their most important investment.

Shah from Winston Salem, NC contacted Carolina Basement Systems because he had problems with basement waterproofing. The company installed the Ultra Sump 4 and perimeter drainage. The Ultra Sump 4 is a submersible pump placed in a sump pit. The perimeter drainage consists of a system of pipes placed around the basement's perimeter. The system drains water that has seeped through the foundation walls and floor into the drainage pipes. The water is then pumped out of the basement by the Ultra Sump 4.

This formerly damp and dirty crawl space got a brand new look and feel with our CleanSpace encapsulation system. Our CleanSpace is the most durable vapor barrier on the market. Once installed, it seals, covers, and protects the area from any moisture, humidity, or winter drafts. This crawl space is now dry and healthy for years to come!
