Bowing Wall Repair in Appomattox, Virginia
Challenge
Rose in Appomattox, Virginia had started noticing movement along one of her basement walls and wanted to get ahead of the problem. As the wall began showing signs of inward bowing, she knew it was better to have it addressed before the movement became more serious. After inspecting the basement, we found that pressure from the surrounding soil was causing the wall to shift inward. With a significant section of the wall affected, it needed reinforcement to prevent the movement from continuing.
Solution
Our crew installed 18 CarbonArmor® Wall Support Straps along the affected wall. The high-strength carbon fiber straps bond directly to the foundation, adding reinforcement and helping hold the wall in place without taking up much space in the basement. It's a clean, low-profile solution that provides lasting support while helping prevent additional inward movement.
