Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Queensbury, NY had bowing walls in their basement. Along with bowing walls, there was a horizontal crack that ran across the length of one of the walls. Concerned about the structural integrity of their home, they contacted Adirondack Basement Systems for a free structural estimate. We sent our Structural Specialist, Jon Roz to the home to do a thorough inspection of the foundation. After taking necessary measurements and assessing the damage to the walls, Jon decided the best solution would be our PowerBrace System. This system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. With no outside excavation required, PowerBraces are an ideal solution.

Much of what we do isn’t visible; working behind the scenes to keep your basement dry, your foundation secure, etc. What you see in this picture set is CarbonArmor at work. CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforcement polymers to permanently stabilize the foundation. This material is ten times stronger than steel and flexible enough to contour perfectly to any wall. What’s also great about the product is if you’re looking to finish your basement, you can easily cover up CarbonArmor with whatever walls or panels or paint you desire, making it a great choice no matter what plans you have for your basement!

If you’re experiencing bowing or buckling walls, PowerBraces are the way to go. Placed at properly designated intervals, as seen in these photos, PowerBraces help take the load of the house off the foundation and provide stable support. Over time, our service technicians do annual maintenance and tighten the support beams to help return the walls safely to their original position!

This lake-front cabin had an addition which was sinking! Our EZPost products helped stabilize the floor and prevent further damage. 

This Schroon Lake basement previously had a trench drain, sump pump, and clean space installed, and we most recently added PowerBrace for foundation support!
