Before & After Photos

A before and after look at a basement wall crack repair with CarbonArmor straps. The CarbonArmor System includes flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. Using high strength epoxy resin, the carbon fiber straps are bonded to the interior face of the wall. The straps will stabilize the wall.

This homeowner's basement wall was cracked and bowing. It was in desperate need of repair. The Mid-State Basements team installed CarbonArmor strips.

CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforced polymers which are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against your basement wall. The ArmorLock brackets bind and secure the CarbonArmor straps to your floor joists making the CarbonArmor solution fast, non-invasive and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls.

Our crews reinforced this bowing basement wall with the PowerBrace Wall Repair System. The PowerBrace consists of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. This system is easily adjustable, allowing for tightening of the brace to attempt to raise the wall back to its original position.

The walls were starting to show some sever cracking and separating, these carbon straps will support the walls and we also sealed off the existing cracks. 

This historic German Village home in Columbus, OH had a sagging kitchen addition with a mix of fieldstone and old porch concrete or brick for its foundation. Inspector Ryan recommended a stabilization solution, and Foreman Nate and his crew installed three SmartJack XT posts and a new support beam to lift and support the floor. To protect the space from moisture, they also sealed the ground with CleanSpace vapor barrier.
