Princeton homeowner faced bowing walls in his basement. A System Design Specialist determined that the leaning walls were caused by pressure from the outside earth. The soil around the home was putting a lot of pressure on the foundation walls. Quality 1st installed the CarbonArmor foundation repair system which adheres to the wall to support the foundation.
Quality 1st Basements provided this homeowner with a permanent solution for the foundation issues they were experiencing. The interior foundation walls were bowing inward and large horizontal cracks began to form in the block foundation. They noticed that windows and certain doors in the house were being to stick and that the floors became uneven. Overall they had great concerns about the stability of their foundation. Luckily a friend had used Quality 1st Basements for a similar foundation concern and recommended the foundation specialists.
Our team installed our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to stabilize the wall and begin to pull the interior wall back towards it original position. Each CarbonArmor strap is installed with a strong apoxy resin and then secured with a heavy duty steel bracket. For additional support, our team installed 7 PowerBrace beams to stop further damage to the wall all while preventing future bowing and titling.
A homeowner in Branchburg, New Jersey noticed bowing and cracking in their foundation walls. These are signs of foundation issues. This happens because the foundation walls become weak from hydrostatic pressure pushing against the wall.
Our System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey, was able to provide an inspection and find a solution to their issue. He suggested carbon fiber straps that will stabilize the walls. Our foreman, Luis Aguirre, installed the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System onto the walls. These straps are stronger than steel and provide ultimate protection by stabilizing the walls. These polymer strips are placed on the wall using a high epoxy resin and the straps will support the wall.
A Somerville, New Jersey homeowner noticed their basement walls were bowing inwards, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution.

We recently assisted this Branchburg, NJ, homeowner who was increasingly concerned about the bowing walls in their basement, fearing that foundation settlement was causing structural instability. The walls had begun to show visible signs of stress, creating cracks and further bowing over time, which left the homeowner anxious about the long-term effects on their home.
After contacting Quality 1st Basement Systems, a thorough inspection revealed that the pressure from the surrounding soil was the primary culprit behind the bowing walls. The team recommended installing our specially patented CarbonArmor Reinforcing System, which uses high-strength carbon fiber straps to stabilize and reinforce the walls. The installation process was quick and non-invasive, requiring no excavation, and the carbon fiber system provided a permanent solution to the problem.
With our CarbonArmor system in place, the homeowner’s basement was fully restored to a dry, stable, and pleasant condition, eliminating the risks associated with foundation settlement and providing lasting peace of mind!
