Foundation Repair Photo Album: Cracked Foundation Stabilized in Palisades Park, NJ

A property owner was looking to make a house in Palisades Park, NJ safe and sturdy. There were some cracks running across the foundation wall that she knew needed to be fixed before it got worse. Foundation problems do not fix themselves, and when left alone they can only get worse. A cracking foundation can lead to bowing walls and wall failure, so the homeowner acted fast and called Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CarbonArmor reinforcement straps. CarbonArmor straps are made out of carbon fiber, which is stronger per pound than steel. It is a great solution to wall with slight cracks because they prevent any further foundation cracks from forming. After the straps were attached to the wall, they were covered with a strong epoxy. The epoxy contours the CarbonArmor straps tightly to the wall, keeping it stabilized and reinforced. They are a great solution for homes looking for a renovation because CarbonArmor can be covered up with paint afterwards. The solution is low-profile yet strong. Now this Bergen county home is safe and the foundation will no longer crack! Now the homeowner can plan her next home improvement project.
