With a wall slowly caving in, the basement of this home needed serious foundation repair. The homeowner called Mid-State Basement Systems for a solution.
We installed the PowerBrace Foundation Wall Support System. This wall support process involves steel beams being anchored down underground beyond the house’s base. A trench is dug for the anchoring and the steel beams are then cinched to the wall. These beams can be adjusted over time to continue to straighten the wall.
When a homeowner discovered cracks in the block walls of his basement, he promptly reached out to Mid-State Basement Systems for assistance. Recognizing that even small cracks can indicate underlying damage, he sought a solution to protect his home. Our dedicated inspector, Jiovanni, conducted a thorough assessment and concluded that the CrabonArmour Wall Reinforcing System was the ideal approach for this project.
The CrabonArmour System incorporates flexible carbon fiber fabric straps, renowned for their exceptional tensile strength, which surpasses that of steel by up to 10 times. Our skilled crew swiftly initiated the necessary repairs. Using a high-strength epoxy resin, the carbon fiber straps were securely bonded to the interior surface of the wall. This innovative technique provides the stability required to reinforce and strengthen the wall, preventing further damage.
By opting for the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, the homeowner took proactive steps to safeguard his basement and protect his home's structural integrity.
This Hilliard, OH homeowner noticed a large vertical crack in the corner of their basement. The wall was bowing and needed to be looked at, so they called Mid-State Basement Systems. Sales Inspector Mitch Mink conducted a thorough inspection of the property and recommended installing CarbonArmor strips to support the failing basement walls. Foreman Manuel Inguil and his crew fixed the basement right up.
CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforced polymers which are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against your basement wall. The ArmorLock brackets bind and secure the CarbonArmor straps to your floor joists making the CarbonArmor solution fast, non-invasive and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls.
Foundation walls begin to buckle, bow, or tilt inward from outside pressure from soil and water and can eventually cause foundation walls to collapse. The PowerBrace system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and can help straighten them over time.
This Grove City, OH basement had a large horizontal crack in one of the foundation walls, which over time can become a major structural issue. The Mid-State Basements team installed three PowerBrace i-beams to stabilize and support the wall.
