This homeowner in Belvidere, New Jersey noticed their walls were cracking and starting to bow inwards. This happens because loose soil after construction creates an active wedge where water can easily flow into it, and create hydrostatic pressure. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Jay Alvarez, suggested they use a non-invasive solution to permanently stabilize the walls. Our foreman used the CarbonArmor System which is flexible carbon fiber fabric straps. The fiber straps are bonded to the inner face of the wall to stabilize it.
