Basement with Bowing Walls in Hendersonville, NC Has CarbonArmor Strips Installed

There are many different kinds of foundation issues that people can be dealing with. Sometimes several different problems can be affecting a home at the same time. Foundation issues can get complicated sometimes, because there are different products that can be used for different problems. This is why our System Design Specialists are trained to apply the best solution to fix the issues. 

In the case of this home, the walls in their basement were beginning to bow. Fortunately it was very minor and was caught during the System Design Specialist's inspection while he was assessing the water intrusion issue that the homeowner was also dealing with. This is actually relatively common, because people do not always realize the signs of foundation problems (or sometimes water intrusion issues when we go for a foundation estimate). As previously mentioned, the foundation problem was caught before it became a huge deal, which led to the Specialists recommendation.

In order to address the foundation issues that this homeowner was dealing with, the Specialist suggest CarbonArmor strips. These are woven carbon-fiber cloth strips that are extremely strong and are able to keep foundation walls from bowing any further. This was the perfect situation and solution for this homeowner, because the walls had not bowed very much and the CarbonArmor strips are very thin and can easily be painted. This allows a homeowner to easily cover up the strips, while making sure that their walls are secure.
