Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A Red Bank, NJ homeowner noticed their basement wall was bowing inwards and wanted to have a professional out to inspect the interior and exterior of their homes foundation. Fearful that their homes structure was moving, they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to meet with one of our Foundation System Design Specialists. jack Huber, met with the Red Bank family, and performed a full inspection of the entre foundation. He measured the movement of the basement walls, noted each crack that he discovered and then presented the family with his discovery and solution! 

He recommended installing the Carbon Armor Reinforcement System, which stabilizes bowing basement walls. Carbon Armor is applied to the wall with a strong epoxy so that it adheres to the wall permanently. These straps stop beginning stages of movement, securing the foundation walls into place and preventing future movement from hydrostatic pressure on the opposite side. 

Our company was referred to this customer by his Structural Engineer for the repair of his block foundation. There was a horizontal crack that ran about 20ft with an opening of 3/8 of an inch in the worst spot. Finding this foundation issue put a big halt to his finishing plans, but he knew if he wanted to proceed with his dream basement, the foundation would first need to be repaired.

To stabilize this foundation, we came out and installed our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. This system consisted of 13 CarbonArmor straps and 11 Armor Locks. This system will permanently stabilize your home's foundation and comes with a 25-year warranty against any manufacturer defects and against any further bowing. The CarboArmor system is also non-invasive, so now the customer can complete the finishing of his basement without any eyesores or obstacles.
