Foundation walls can buckle due to soil pressure, water saturation, poor construction, or settling of the ground beneath the foundation. The wall develops cracks, bows inward, or shifts out of alignment, compromising its structural integrity. The CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement System repairs the problem by applying high-strength carbon fiber straps to the wall, which distribute the load and prevent further buckling or movement, effectively stabilizing the foundation.
To stabilize this customers bowed and cracked wall, we installed our GeoLock Channel System. GeoLock Channel Anchors work by stabilizing and straightening bowing or cracked walls. They are installed with anchors placed in the soil outside the foundation wall and connected to steel channels inside the basement. This system counteracts the pressure exerted on the wall, preventing further movement and potentially straightening the wall over time.
While not the most pressing issue to this pool deck, the pool house was in definite need of repair. The rusty and makeshift truss along the top was concerning to the structural integrity. We re-worked it and installed a new steel I-beam to keep the roof up.
The main floor of this home started to sink and sag. We installed our SmartJacks under the home to stop the sagging and push the floor back into place.
The foundation walls in this home's basement were beginning to separate and threaten the home's stability. To prevent a wall collapse, we installed our steel beam supports, called PowerBraces, to stabilize and help push the wall back.
