Bowing Concrete Block Foundation Wall Help - Windsor, ON

Before

The home was showing the signs of bowing and shifting foundation walls. The stair step cracking occurs when the wall begins to bow but the reinforced corners are held in place. The reinforcement comes from the corner of the foundation wall providing an anchor to the bowing wall. Over time this condition could become worse requiring full foundation wall replacement.

 

After

Advanced Basement Systems installed a series of Geo Lock Channel Anchors fastened at the footing. The anchor plates are buried in the yard outside, about 12ft away from the foundation wall. They're attached to the channel with long threaded galvanized rods. This installation will halt further bowing and may straighten the existing wall over time.

 

Give Advanced Basement Systems a call if you see signs of wall cracking in your basement!

Bowing Wall Support - Corunna, ON

Before

On the outside the home looks solid and in very good repair. Upon further inspection, the basement shows signs of shearing in the middle of the walls which indicates bowing in the structure. The walls at this stage have not shifted at the top or bottom but could eventually weaken and become a structural issue.

After

A combination of Power Braces and Carbon Armor have been used to brace the walls which will prevent any further bowing. This will allow the homeowner to begin finishing the basement knowing the walls are solid!

 

Give Advanced Basement Systems a call if you suspect your basement walls need help.

Bowing and Leaking Block Wall - Woodstock, ON

This home in Woodstock, ON had basement seepage and slight bow (buckle or lean) in the block foundation wall. We can use our Carbon Armor Systems to stop the wall from moving any further. The silver vapour barrier is part of the waterproofing system and is not necessary in order to structurally stabilize the wall.
We also installed a new TripleSafe Sump Pump System, replacing the old and unreliable sump.
