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.
Cherry Hill homeowner had multiple cracks in his basement foundation and basement flooding. Quality 1st completed the foundation repair and fixed the cracks in the wall, waterproofed the basement using the WaterGuard draining system, then refinished the basement using ThermalDry Wall System. ThermalDry not only increases energy savings in the home as its foil face reflects heat back into the basement, but is made of inorganic materials which means it will not grow mold and will keep water out!
