George & Tanya H. of Jenison, MI had a crack in his foundation. Water would squirt out of this crack when it rained, causing a waterlogged basement. This said, we got a call.

Betty F. had foundation walls in her basement with stair-step cracks that were beginning to concern her. The walls were not bowing at the time, although stair-step cracks are a common sign of wall failure in block foundation walls, so we wanted to take proper steps to fix the problem before it began to bow.
The sandy soil located outside of the home caused some concern for our original plan to use wall anchors, which is why we decided to install the PowerBrace and CarbonArmor systems.
For the PowerBrace installation, we needed to install steel columns up against the failing wall. The columns were installed at the base of the wall and to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. Once we tightened the braces, the wall was held in place and would no longer be able to shift and crack.
To further stabilize the wall, we installed CarbonArmor straps. These straps are made of a fiber reinforced polymer that is much stronger than steel. The straps were adhered to the wall with an epoxy resin and secured with steel brackets to hold them in place. These straps immediately stabilized the wall and prevented ...
