Patrick D. in Nevada, OH called Mid-State Basement Systems because the church building he owned had several severe issues that needed to be repaired. Some of the concrete blocks on one of the walls had shifted inward more than two inches. We sent out our certified inspector, Steve Davis, to inspect the area and provide a free estimate for repair.
Our crew, led by Byron Salinas, was able to use Geo-Lock Channel Anchors to permanently pull the wall back into its original position. These are galvanized steel anchors with one side embedded in the earth outside the building and the other bolted to the inside of the foundation wall.
The church owner is happy with the results and he knows that the congregation will be safer with these updates and repairs.
A before and after look at a basement wall crack repair with CarbonArmor straps. The CarbonArmor System includes flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. Using high strength epoxy resin, the carbon fiber straps are bonded to the interior face of the wall. The straps will stabilize the wall.
This homeowner's basement wall was cracked and bowing. It was in desperate need of repair. The Mid-State Basements team installed CarbonArmor strips.
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.
This Columbus homeowner called Mid-State Basement Systems to take a look at their bowing basement walls. Our team installed seven PowerBrace steel I-beams. The PowerBrace system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and can help straighten them over time.
For basement walls that are bowed, leaning, and/or sheered, we install our PowerBrace Wall Bracing System to offer stabilization and even improve the positioning of the wall over time.
