Foundation Repair Photo Album: Bowing Walls Fixed with CarbonArmor in Fairfeld, NJ

Buying a new home is stressful! This Fairfield homeowner purchased a new property, but the walls in the basement were bowing and the foundation is cracked. Not wanting to worry about further damage while moving, they called Quality 1st Basement Systems to fix their basement. Bowing walls is a sign of a huge foundation problem. It is usually caused by expansion of the soil outside of a home. Expanding soil places an enormous amount of pressure on basements, and can crack walls and push them inward. When left alone without fixing, the walls can continue to bow in and cause structural problems. Qualified inspector Andre Cabral suggested that CarbonArmor would be the best solution for stable walls. Ten times stronger than steel, CarbonArmor is made out of fiber-reinforced polymer. A team of certified workers installed CarbonArmor on the inside of the house with a high-strength expoy resin. The strips of CarbonArmor were then locked into the wall framing with ArmorLock. ArmorLock is small, discreet and stabilizes the wall from further movement. The CarbonArmor system can be painted over, so homeowners concerned about bulky foundation fixes will be pleased. Now this home is safe and the walls will no longer bow in and the new homeowner can enjoy moving in, stress free!
