Before & After Photos

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.

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. and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls.

A bowing foundation wall is never a good thing as it can be a sign of foundation failure. This homeowner called us to see if we could fix it for him. The answer was yes! Our crew came out and installed our CarbonArmor Wall System. The cracks are sealed and the stronger than steel polymer straps are in place! This foundation is now secured and the homeowner is relieved.

These homeowners in Columbus, Oh knew they could not ignore their basement wall cracks any longer. The wall was starting to bow, and the water damage was prominent. They called us at Mid-State Basement Systems after seeing a wall with similar issues in our ad. Our inspector, Stephen recommended permanently stabilizing the wall with CarbonArmor straps. Our crew completed this project within the day.

A homeowner in Columbus, OH was concerned about cracks and inward bowing along their block basement wall. To address the structural issue before it worsened, our team recommended the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System—a low-profile yet incredibly strong solution designed to stabilize basement walls.

Before installation, the wall showed signs of movement but had not yet reached the stage requiring excavation or heavy-duty steel beams. Our crew prepared the surface by grinding six strips into the wall using a vacuum system to control dust. We then loosely attached top brackets, applied the gray adhesive paste, followed by structural epoxy to bond the carbon fiber straps securely to the wall.

Once all six CarbonArmor straps were installed and secured, we cleaned up the area thoroughly, leaving the basement stronger, cleaner, and ready to resist future soil pressure.
