Early Stage Bowing Walls Stopped in Des Moines, IA
Shirley expressed concerns about the continued movement and potential collapse of their basement wall, as they wished to continue utilizing the basement space. The high pressure exerted on the wall posed a risk of further outward displacement. To address this issue, we recommended the implementation of a CarbonArmor system, which would effectively stabilize the wall and preserve the integrity of the living area.
The CarbonArmor system offers a permanent solution for stabilizing foundation walls. It employs fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) that possess exceptional strength, surpassing that of steel by tenfold. Moreover, these FRPs are flexible enough to conform tightly to the shape of the basement wall. By utilizing ArmorLock brackets, the CarbonArmor straps are securely affixed to the floor joists, resulting in a fast and non-invasive installation process. This solution is particularly effective for promptly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls.
To provide additional assurance, the CarbonArmor system is backed by a 25-year warranty, ensuring the long-term reliability and durability of the stabilization measures. By opting for CarbonArmor, the customer can have peace of mind knowing that their basement wall is secure and protected, allowing them to continue utilizing the space without concerns of further movement or structural compromise.
