This Middletown, NJ homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems requesting a visit with one of our Foundation Experts. They were noticing small horizontal cracks along with exposed basement wall and wanted to speak with a specialist on the proper way to repair and prevent future damage to the foundation. Our team recommended Carbon Armor Reinforcement System, to be installed against the foundation wall to secure the wall in place and prevent future bowing. Our Specialist determined that these cracks were signs of the beginning stages of wall movement and luckily the homeowner addressed this situation early on to prevent serious movement and damage to the foundation in the future.
A homeowner in Brick, NJ, had bowing block foundation walls. Cracks had formed over time from forced hydrostatic pressure on the other side. To stabilize the foundation walls and prevent future movement or damage, our team came out to install our Wall Reinforcing System. Carbon Armor is made from fiber-reinforced polymer that is 10 times stronger than steel. Each strap is carefully installed to the wall for stabilization. The homeowner was pleased with the team and the installation when the job was completed.
Foundation Design Specialist Steve Ventriglio met with this customer to propose a reliable solution for a failing foundation. With a slight bowing of the concrete block basement wall and horizontal cracking, reinforcement of the wall with CarbonArmor straps seemed the best solution, a low profile fix that gets bonded to the wall with a relatively quick install as no exterior excavation is neeeded. Foreman Esau Aquino and his crew installed the state-of-the-art straps to stabilize the foundation.
We were able to provide this homeowner with a permeant solution to their basement walls in Brick, NJ. The homeowner contacted us after discovering their basement walls were bowing inwards and forming horizontal cracks.

A homeowner in Brick, New Jersey noticed their walls were cracking and bowing inwards. This can happen because of wet and heavy soil pushing against the wall and letting water seep in, which is also called hydrostatic pressure. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our foreman used the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. Each flexible carbon fiber strip is applied to the section of the wall with a strong epoxy to bond the strip in place. CarbonArmor requires no excavation making it a clean installation. The CarbonArmor straps are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel.
