Conditions That Cause Foundation Issues

There are several common signs of foundation damage, depending on the type of foundation you have in your home. Concrete block walls generally crack along joints between the blocks, forming a horizontal crack at the mid-point of the wall and "stair step" cracking in the corners.

If your foundation is poured concrete, you are most likely going to see diagonal cracks that go from the bottom corner of the wall and extend to the top center of the wall. With both types of foundations, cracks are often accompanied by bowing walls.

Foundation cracks and bowing are obviously serious problems that will worsen over time if not corrected. The experienced professionals at Quality 1st Basement Systems will help you identify the conditions that are causing these problems and determine the best strategy to permanently repair your foundation.

Straps And Epoxy Make A Low-Profile Repair

The CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System is an ideal repair solution for cracking foundation walls. With a few simple steps, we can install this system on your walls and begin repair your walls.

To begin the installation process, we'll first determine how many straps need to be installed and where. This is based on the severity of the damage to the wall and the amount of pressure being exerted on it. We will also clean the wall to prepare it for installation.

Once the set-up process is complete, straps will be cut to length to match the height of the wall. Both the strap and the wall will be saturated with a high strength expoxy resin, with the strap then being adhered to the wall. A final topcoat of expoxy resin is then applied, completing a sleek, strong installation. This is much less instrusive than a process such as installing steel I-beams, and it can be concealed by paint or drywall if you so choose.

Stabilization That's Strong, Fast And Affordable

The combination of high-strength epoxy resin and carbon fiber strap material is —pound for pound—stronger than steel. The aerospace industry has come to rely on the light but strong characteristics of carbon fiber technology, and the U.S. Dept. of Defense uses the same strapping technique to reinforce bomb shelters. With this kind of a pedigree, the CarbonArmor® System allows homeowners to stabilize bowing foundations quickly and affordably.
