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.
This Somerset, NJ homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after discovering their basement wall was developing horizontal cracks. We were able to resolve the problem by installing our Carbon Armor Straps, which stabilizes the foundation wall. Each strap is placed against the foundation with a strong epoxy to ensure the foundation wall will not move or bow inward in the future.
