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.
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.
This Columbus, OH basement had three walls in need of repair, one of which was bowing significantly. Our team installed 16 PowerBrace I-beams to stablize the walls. The PowerBrace System is designed to help straighten walls 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.
These homeowners in Columbus, Oh knew they could not ignore their basement wall cracks any longer. The wall was starting to bow, and the water damage was prominent. They called us at Mid-State Basement Systems after seeing a wall with similar issues in our ad. Our inspector, Stephen recommended permanently stabilizing the wall with CarbonArmor straps. Our crew completed this project within the day.
