Foundation Repair Photo Album: Bowing Wall Repair in Charlottesville, Virginia
Thomas in Charlottesville, Virginia, had noticed his basement wall beginning to move and wanted to take care of it before the problem got any worse. Since the movement was still relatively minor, CarbonArmor was a great fit for the project. Our crew installed 5 CarbonArmor Wall Support Straps to reinforce the wall and help keep it from moving any further. The straps have a slim profile, so they provide serious support without taking over the basement. It’s a simple-looking repair, but it gives Thomas some much-needed peace of mind knowing the wall is properly supported.
Wall Before
Here you can see the wall before the CarbonArmors are installed. Note the blue tape that marks where each one will go.
Wall Prep
Here you can see how we prep the wall for each strap. We sand down the wall to smooth concrete for proper adhesion.
