Before & After Photos

With a wall slowly caving in, the basement of this home needed serious foundation repair. The homeowner called Mid-State Basement Systems for a solution.

We installed the PowerBrace Foundation Wall Support System. This wall support process involves steel beams being anchored down underground beyond the house’s base. A trench is dug for the anchoring and the steel beams are then cinched to the wall. These beams can be adjusted over time to continue to straighten the wall.

Foundation walls begin to buckle, bow, or tilt inward from outside pressure from soil and water and can eventually cause foundation walls to collapse. The PowerBrace system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and can help straighten them over time.

This basement had cracking and bowing walls, putting the home's foundation at risk. To reinforce the structure, we installed CarbonArmor straps—strong, fiber-reinforced polymers that bond to the wall and prevent further movement. This non-invasive solution provides long-term stability, ensuring the home remains safe and secure.

This basement wall has developed a large horizontal crack—a common sign of bowing due to external soil pressure. As the foundation walls weaken, they start to push inward, compromising the home's structural integrity. Without reinforcement, the wall could continue to bow and eventually fail. Our team installed static beams to stabilize the wall and prevent further movement, ensuring the long-term safety of this home.

For wall cracks, we start by sealing the crack with a high-viscosity polyurethane polymer. This gets deep in the cracks to form a durable, flexible seal. To keep your foundation walls looking great, we overlay your sealed wall crack with a polyurethane sealant. Light gray in color, it gives the repair a professional, finished appearance.
