Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforced polymers which are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against your basement wall. The ArmorLock brackets bind and secure the CarbonArmor straps to your floor joists making the CarbonArmor solution fast, non-invasive and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls. and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls.

Ruth S. in Columbus, OH called Mid-State Basement Systems because there were large stairstep cracks and horizontal bowing cracks that were bowing throughout her basement walls. We sent out our certified inspector, Mitch Mink, out to inspect the home and provide a free quote for repair. He suggested using PowerBrace I-Beams and CarbonArmor to repair and stabilize the walls.

Ruth decided this was the best option, so our crew, led by foreman Milton Castro, went out and installed these products. Both products will prevent further inward movement and the PowerBrace i-beams can be adjusted to straighten the walls more over time.

Ruth is happy with the results and no longer has concerns about the integrity of the basement walls.

This Columbus, OH homeowner let a large crack in their basement wall go too long and water eventually began to seep in as the wall shifted. Our team installed WaterGuard to direct the water to the sump pump and PowerBrace steel i-beams to support the wall.

The wall in this Gahanna, OH basement had two large stair-step cracks near each corner and the wall had shifted in quite a few centimeters. Inspector Evan Glancy recommended installing three PowerBrace steel I-beams. Foreman Manuel Inguil and his crew installed the beams, which help to support the wall and straighten it over time. 

A homeowner in Columbus, OH was concerned about cracks and inward bowing along their block basement wall. To address the structural issue before it worsened, our team recommended the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System—a low-profile yet incredibly strong solution designed to stabilize basement walls.

Before installation, the wall showed signs of movement but had not yet reached the stage requiring excavation or heavy-duty steel beams. Our crew prepared the surface by grinding six strips into the wall using a vacuum system to control dust. We then loosely attached top brackets, applied the gray adhesive paste, followed by structural epoxy to bond the carbon fiber straps securely to the wall.

Once all six CarbonArmor straps were installed and secured, we cleaned up the area thoroughly, leaving the basement stronger, cleaner, and ready to resist future soil pressure.
