In the case of foundation cracks, there are various possible solutions, but our wall reinforcing system, Carbon Armor, emerged as the ideal choice in this instance. The Carbon Armor wall stabilization system incorporates flexible carbon fiber fabric straps known for their exceptional strength, surpassing steel by up to tenfold. Moreover, the cracks in the basement walls had created a pathway for water to seep through, necessitating the implementation of an effective waterproofing system.

Our proficient crew proceeded to install the WaterGuard French Drain system, accompanied by a TripleSafe sump pump, to effectively remove any unwanted water from the basement. The culmination of these basement waterproofing, and foundation projects left the homeowner exceptionally pleased with our installation crew's work.

The homeowner had ambitious plans to flip their house for a profit, but the basement required several crucial repairs to enhance the property's value. Initially, severe bowing of the basement walls had caused significant foundation issues, resulting in water infiltration problems. To address these pressing concerns, the homeowner turned to Mid-State Basement Systems, having found us online, and requested a complimentary estimate from one of our Sales Inspectors.

Upon inspection of the basement, our inspector devised a comprehensive solution to address both the wall damage and the persistent moisture issues. The proposed plan entailed the excavation of a trench to accommodate a floor drainage system, designed to capture water infiltrating through the cracked and bowing walls. This system would efficiently direct the water to a sump pump for removal. Once the basement was effectively waterproofed, our crew could commence work on stabilizing the compromised basement walls.

Our skilled Foreman and their dedicated crew executed the plan by installing the WaterGuard floor drainage system, along with a TripleSafe Sump Pump, to maintain a consistently dry basement environment. Subsequently, they implemented the PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System to rectify the inward bowing of the failing foundation walls.

This comprehensive approach rendered the home entirely waterproof and permanently stabilized, greatly enhancing its value in preparation for potential flipping.

In Lithopolis, OH, a residential property faced troubling foundation issues within its basement. The basement walls were displaying clear signs of structural deterioration, including the presence of cracks and noticeable bowing. In situations where the installation of wall anchors isn't feasible, often due to factors like property line restrictions or adverse soil conditions, our team turns to the reliable solution of power brace brackets.

These specialized brackets are specifically designed to deliver security and stabilization to the compromised structure, serving as a cost-effective alternative to the extensive replacement of the walls themselves. What makes them particularly appealing is their minimal disruption to both the home's interior and the surrounding landscaping.

The installation process involves affixing these brackets at both the top and bottom of each I-beam, securely anchoring them to the basement floor with concrete anchors. The top brackets are then fastened to the floor joists above. By utilizing turning adjustments, steady pressure is exerted on the I-beam, gradually coaxing the wall back to its original position over time.

With our power brace system successfully implemented, this home can now enjoy the assurance of enhanced security and stability for the long term.
