The basement walls under this home were bending and causing so many problems that the homeowners had to tear out existing interior walls to uncover problem areas. Once the block was fully exposed, we were able to install our steel PowerBraces to the wall that secure the blocks in place.
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!
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.
We installed our GeoLock Channel System to stabilize a failing foundation wall because it provides long-term support and prevents further movement. The system secures the wall to stable soil layers deep underground, counteracting the pressure that causes cracks and bowing. This solution not only reinforces the wall but also helps restore its structural integrity, ensuring the foundation remains strong and secure.
