Basement Walls Stabilized in Colonia, New Jersey
Challenge
Colonia, NJ Resident noticed the basement walls were bowing inward, creating horizontal cracks in the foundation. We sent System Design Specialist, Joe Hubbard, out to provide a full inspection and design a solution that would not only stabilize the foundation walls but also prevent future movement. Upon inspection, Joe noticed that the bowing walls were caused by hydrostatic pressure. Knowing that this could potentially cause serious foundation issues, the homeowner decided to have the walls stabilized to protect the value of their home.
Solution
Joe recommended stabilizing the basement walls with our Carbon Amor Wall Reinforcing System. This system is the prefect solution for any foundation walls that are experiencing bowing or cracking. Each flexible carbon fiber strip is applied to the section of the wall with a strong epoxy to bond the strip in place. Carbon Armor requires no excavation, making it a clean installation. The Carbon Armor straps are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel.
