Bowing walls and a water problem can be fixed at the same time
It can be difficult to see a bowing wall in a picture, but when you look at the top of the after photo, it is obvious just how out of plumb that wall is. Along with the bowing wall, this basement also experienced water seepage. We were able to install our WaterGuard and PowerBrace systems at the same time around the entire perimeter of the basement. When we left on the last day, the walls were stabilized from any further movement and the perimeter was protected from any water intrusion.
Powerbrace replacement
Steve previously had 4 by 4's placed up against his walls to prevent future bowing from taking place. He wanted something more stable and even the possibility of straightening the wall, we installed 14 new PowerBraces on all 4 walls of the basement and 4 Wall Anchors in places the PowerBraces would not fit.
The CarbonArmor System
When dealing with your home's foundation, it can be difficult to know what your best options are. At Badger Basement Systems, we have several options that our design specialists take into consideration while doing their onsite visit.
One of the options that we have is the CarbonArmor System. This system is designed to stabilize bowing and leaning walls. The CarbonArmor strips are made of fiber-reinforced polymers that are 10 times stronger than steel. They are installed tight against the wall and the installation is fast, giving you immediate stabilization. The strips are even paintable or easy to conceal if you finish your basement.
This type of installation can be done year round and usually in less than one day, so why not start protecting your walls today!
Bowing Foundation Walls
This property had stair stepping cracks in the walls along with bowing. We installed out PowerBraace system on two of the walls in the basement to help support the walls from bowing further in and eventually with routine tightening's we hope to make the walls plumb again.
Slight bowing wall
There is a slight bow in the wall where a crack can be seen. Although not a major issue right now, prevention of further movement is much needed.
