Before & After Photos

A result of soil expansion, this customer's foundation wall was unable to support the pressure, leading to cracking and bowing. In order to permanently stabilize and secure the wall, the CarbonArmor System was the most effective and ideal solution. In this system, fiber-reinforced straps are cured with high-strength epoxy to permanently adhere to the foundation wall, and braced at floor joists with steel brackets. The straps are 10x stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour against the wall itself.  

Our crew installed our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to permanently stabilize this customers bowing concrete block walls in their garage. 

Faced with the worrisome discovery of stair-step cracks in their garage, a homeowner in Canonsburg, PA, knew they had a significant problem on their hands. As you can see in the before photo, these unsettling signs of foundation distress were hard to miss. Fortunately, our team at Keystone Basement Systems was ready to turn things around. Using our trusted Carbon Armor technology, showcased in the after photo, we effectively stabilized the foundation. Notice the seamless integration of our solutions, providing not just an aesthetically pleasing result, but more importantly, a strong, secure foundation for years to come. We're proud to deliver on our promise of a remarkable experience and lasting solutions for every homeowner we serve.

To support, level, and stabilize the floor above this customer's basement, we installed SmartJack Support Posts. The posts provide a strong, reliable foundation and provide the necessary support to prevent the floor from sagging. The posts are adjustable and can be easily raised or lowered as needed. 

One of the main benefits of using carbon fiber straps for wall reinforcement is their high strength-to-weight ratio. Carbon fiber straps are incredibly strong and can withstand a significant amount of tension, making them ideal for stabilizing failing foundation walls. Additionally, these straps are non-corrosive and have a long lifespan, providing a durable solution that will last for years to come.
