  • CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System

    CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing

    The CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System is a state-of-the-art solution for bowing and cracking foundation walls. Using the same technology the Army Corps of Engineers developed to reinforce bomb shelters, skyscrapers, and bridges, we use CarbonArmor® to stabilize your basement walls.

    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 system requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing.

  • PowerBrace™ Foundation Wall Repair System

    PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System

    The PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System is the ideal way to stabilize failing foundation walls. If you have walls that are bowing, buckling, or tilting inwards, installing a PowerBrace™ system can stop any further damage and potentially straighten the wall.

    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. This system doesn't involve any exterior excavation and installs quickly with minimal disruption to your basement space.

  • GeoLock® Wall Anchor System

    GeoLock Wall Anchors

    GeoLock® Wall Anchors are designed to repair walls that are sliding inwards, tilting at the top, bowing, and buckling. These wall anchors are made of galvanized steel for a long-lasting solution that will prevent any further inward movement of your walls.

    Wall anchors work by extending from your wall to the stable, hard packed soil beyond your home. They anchor into these stronger soils and brace the foundation wall, preventing further movement. Wall anchors are installed with minimal disruption to your lawn, and they won't damage the interior of your basement or take up usable space. In fact, GeoLock® Wall Anchors can easily be concealed by our Hide-A-Way® covers for a clean finished appearance.

  • GeoLock® Street Creep Repair System

    street creep repair

    "Street creep" is a phenomenon where thermal expansion of pavement surrounding a home pushes against the foundation and creates problems such as bowing walls. The GeoLock® Street Creep System is designed to eliminate inward movement and stabilize your foundation walls against the pressure created by your street, driveway, and garage slab.

    This system works by first creating expansion joints in the driveway that allow individual slabs to expand and contract without damaging other ones. These joints are filled with a resilient backer rod and a durable, flexible polyurethane sealant. Next, GeoLock® Wall Anchors are installed to stabilize the walls in competent soils and potentially straighten the wall. All holes created for installation are then repaired. With this system installed, you won't have to worry about additional movement creating problems for your foundation walls.

  • GeoLock® Channel Anchor System

    GeoLock® Channel Anchors are a versatile and effective method of stabilizing walls that are pushing in at the top or bottom, bowing, or tipping. With corrosion-resistant galvanized steel and floor mounts for extra strength, our channel anchors provide an incredible durable solution that will halt all inward movement of your walls.

    To install channel anchors, we begin by boring holes in the yard for earth anchors and drilling corresponding holes in the foundation. Galvanized steel earth anchors are installed and steel rods are joined to them through the wall. The channel anchor is then mounted on the other end of the rod inside your foundation wall, secured to the floor, and tightened into place. This will permanently stabilize your wall and could return it to its original condition. After this, we restore your landscaping and basement to the state we found them in.

  • EverBrace® Wall Restoration System

    Basement wall repaired with EverBrace

    EverBrace® permanently stabilizes even the worst failing foundation walls and protects against future structural problems.

    Steel corrugated panels span between steel I-beams to strengthen the existing structure. A specialized rigid foam is injected behind the steel panels, filling voids between the existing wall and panels, transferring the load from the failing wall to the new support system.
