Bowing Wall Repair in Charlottesville, Virginia
Challenge
Thomas in Charlottesville, Virginia had noticed one of his basement walls starting to move inward. The bowing was still fairly minor, but he didn't want to ignore it and risk the problem becoming more serious down the road. After inspecting the wall, we found early signs of inward movement caused by pressure from the surrounding soil. Fortunately, the issue was caught early enough for a straightforward, low-profile stabilization solution.
Solution
Our crew installed 5 CarbonArmor® Wall Support Straps along the affected section of the wall. CarbonArmor® straps bond directly to the foundation, adding strength and helping stop the wall from moving any further. Their slim profile also makes them a practical option for homeowners who want effective structural support without taking up much space in the basement.
