Foundation Repair 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.  

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.

The CarbonArmor system permanently stabilizes your home’s foundation walls. CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) 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.  In this picture a sill plate was rotted and larger anchors were needed to bite into good wood. This was done for free for the client as part of the transferable warranty.

Proper CarbonArmor installation requires certification and continuing education.  Keystone Basement Systems belongs to the Supportworks network which provides this training and certification to ensure the public that only the best installation practices are being followed.
