Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This customer reached out to us for joist sistering on an exterior foundation wall and still had concerns of the same wall bowing in the basement. After the joist sistering was on the exterior of the home, we applied our Carbon Armor system to the interior wall of the basement.  The Carbon Armor System permanently stabilizes your home's foundation walls using fiber-reinforced polymers, which are 10x stronger than steel. 

In this basement, the homeowner was getting water in through the wall cracks, and one wall was beginning to bow due to outside pressure from soil and water. To stabilize the bowing wall, we installed our PowerBrace foundation wall repair system, which is designed to straighten the walls over time and save the integrity of the foundation. This system is conducted with steel beams that get secured under the rim joist and are stabilized with steel brackets, which will make it easy to adjust over time to its original place.

For this basement repair, we had to install 2 PowerBraces. PowerBraces were needed due to the fact that  one part of the foundation wall was bowing inward and we needed to stop that forward movement.

When a concerned homeowner in Elkton, MD began noticing signs of foundation settlement in their basement, such as cracking walls and uneven floors, they feared the onset of serious structural damage and decided to contact Quality 1st for a professional evaluation.

Our expert team conducted a thorough inspection and identified the root causes of the instability and moisture issues. To address these concerns, we designed a tailored waterproofing and structural repair plan featuring our patented PowerBrace Wall Repair System to stabilize bowing walls, and our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump to ensure reliable water drainage and moisture control.

These cutting-edge solutions worked together seamlessly to restore the basement to a dry, healthy, and structurally sound condition, giving the homeowner peace of mind and protecting the long-term value of their property.

This customer had a slight bow in their block foundation, which caused a  horizontal crack to develop. We sent our inspector out to the property and the best solution for this customer scenario was to install our Carbon Armor straps with Armor Locks.

The Carbon Armor Wall Stabilization system works by fusing our Carbon Armor Straps to ArmorLock strips that are anchored to heavy steel brackets that are attached to the rim joist. This system will immediately stabilize your foundation wall and stop any further inward movement.
