Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

At this home in Glen Burnie, MD, the foundation wall was beginning to bow. It was in need of wall stabilization to prevent further bowing. Our team examined the foundation to determine the strategy of these steel beams and hold their current position without adjustment. Our team installed our PowerBrace Wall System that can stop buckling, wall tilting, and further damage, and even over time help straighten the wall over time.

What looked like minor wall cracks and sagging ceilings quickly became a major concern for a homeowner in Parkville, MD, as signs of foundation settlement became increasingly obvious. The basement walls were beginning to bow inward, and ceiling stress indicated that the structural integrity of the home was at risk. Wanting to prevent further damage and protect their investment, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a permanent solution. After a full inspection, our team diagnosed the underlying issues and crafted a custom repair strategy to address both the foundation movement and ongoing water intrusion.

To stabilize the bowing walls, we installed our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, an innovative solution that uses ultra-strong carbon fiber straps bonded directly to the interior surface of the walls. This system stops further inward movement without the need for exterior excavation. Next, to address water seepage that was contributing to the foundation stress, we installed our WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement perimeter to intercept water before it reached the floor. We also added a TrenchDrain System at the basement entryway to capture surface water from external sources.

With these systems working together, the basement is now dry, secure, and structurally sound, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and renewed confidence in their home!

Customer reached out to us with concerns of the top portion of their foundation wall was bowing inward about 2 to 3 inches and feared after time this would only get worse. 

Our solution for this bowing foundation wall was to install 5 Full Wall Channel Anchors, which will permanently stabilize the foundation wall and, in time, can straighten the wall back towards its original position.

The installation team quickly placed the heavy-duty steel SmartJacks beneath the affected areas, adjusting them to provide immediate stabilization and lift where needed. The results were almost instant, floors leveled out, doors started working properly again, and the homeowner felt confident knowing their home’s foundation was solid and secure.
