What looked like minor wall cracks and sagging ceilings quickly became a major concern for a homeowner in Parkville, MD, as signs of foundation settlement became increasingly obvious. The basement walls were beginning to bow inward, and ceiling stress indicated that the structural integrity of the home was at risk. Wanting to prevent further damage and protect their investment, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a permanent solution. After a full inspection, our team diagnosed the underlying issues and crafted a custom repair strategy to address both the foundation movement and ongoing water intrusion.

To stabilize the bowing walls, we installed our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, an innovative solution that uses ultra-strong carbon fiber straps bonded directly to the interior surface of the walls. This system stops further inward movement without the need for exterior excavation. Next, to address water seepage that was contributing to the foundation stress, we installed our WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement perimeter to intercept water before it reached the floor. We also added a TrenchDrain System at the basement entryway to capture surface water from external sources.

With these systems working together, the basement is now dry, secure, and structurally sound, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and renewed confidence in their home!
