Before & After Photos

This customer had a slight bow in their block foundation which caused a  horizontal crack to develop. We sent our inspector Keith Miller out to the property and the best solution for this customer scenario was to install our Carbon Armor straps with Armor Locks.

The Carbon Armor Wall Stabilization system works by fusing our Carbon Armor Straps to ArmorLock strips that are anchored to heavy steel brackets that are attached to the rim joist. This system will immediately stabilize your foundation wall and stop any further inward movement.

Pressure of soil pushing up against the foundation wall, Hydrostatic pressure or Foundation Settlement are only a few reasons why a foundation wall could be bowing or cracking, either way, you want to get this looked at as soon as you can so the issue doesn't continue and possibly worsen over time. 

For this customer, we have done several projects for them, Egress install, waterproofing and now foundation repair. This repair required 4 Carbon Armor Strips and 10, 8' Power Braces.

The initial call for this property was basement flooring, they already had a waterproofing system and no active leaks, just wanted to get some flooring installed. When we arrived at the property ready to provide an estimate for flooring, the inspector did notice a few issues. There was a horizontal crack going along one side of the block foundation which left unattended for too long could turn in to a costly issue, the basement walls were showing mold growth and the current windows and window wells, had seen better days. 

The customer took the inspectors recommendations and not only upgraded the window and wells, but also wanted to move forward on the significant wall crack. To repair the wall and stop it from bowing or cracking any further, we installed our Carbon Armor Wall Stabilization Straps which, come with a 25year warranty against manufacturing defects and against further bowing.

We were called out to assess the crawlspace in this Wilmington, DE home. The customer had concerns that the floors above were sagging and uneven and needed our help. We came out to the property and installed 7 Smart Jacks and 4 Galvanized Steel Support Beams.

This homeowner was looking for help cleaning up and encapsulating her crawlspace. Basement Systems USA came in and got the job done. Here we installed the Cleanspace Encapsulation System with our Cleanspace drainage matting, which is specially designed to collect and draw water away to the sump pump, our Cleanspace vapor barrier and SilverGlo insulated wall panels. We also built a retaining kneewall to stabilize and better support the area.
