Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This basement has a blocked foundation that was showing signs of bowing and had some minor cracks. The homeowner was concerned and wanted to ensure that the walls were stabilized and secure. One of our Structural Repair Experts did a thorough inspection of the basement and proposed CarbonArmor as the ideal solution. CarbonArmor is made from fiber-reinforced polymer that is 10-times stronger than steel. The high-strength epoxy resin that the CarbonArmor adheres to actually absorbs pressure from the wall. This solution is especially ideal for homeowners who have landscaping done around their house, as there is no outside excavation recquired.

While having a home inspection completed, homeowners in Schenectady, NY noticed a vertical crack running down their blocked foundation wall. Their inspector recommended they give Adirondack Basement Systems a call to schedule a free estimate and figure out what could be done to repair the wall. We sent out one of our trained structural specialists to assess the wall in which they ultimately decided CarbonArmor would be the prefect solution. CarbonArmor helps to reinforce walls that crack or bow due to issues like hydrostatic pressure and soil inconsistencies. It is also made from a fiber-reinforced polymer that's 10-times stronger than steel.

PowerBraces are installed when dealing with a bowing or buckling foundation wall. Symptoms of this are sometimes as obvious as being able to see the wall bulging with large horizontal cracks. Other times, the displacement is more subtle, but our design specialists are highly trained and can notice these issues. PowerBraces attach right to the affected wall and keep it from buckling any further, all while bringing it back to its original position over time through scheduled tightenings.

To fix a failing foundation that was starting to cave in, our crew installed the EverBrace Wall Restoration System to permanently stabilize this homeowners issues and concerns.

A homeowner had their house on the market, and although people were coming to see their home, they were noticing that one of the basement walls was bowing. Bowing walls are a sign of foundation settlement and issues with the surrounding soil. PowerBrace repair system is ideal for most situations because it can actually improve the wall over time, not just stabilize it. There is no outside excavation required either, which means no landscape disruption. After we came and installed PowerBrace in this homeowners basement, they went on to successfully sell their home! The new homeowners are now assured there foundation will not fail with an engineered and warrantied system.
