Photo Album: Securing Basement Walls in Lansing MI

We were called when this Lansing homeowner noticed cracking in their basement walls. There were horizontal and stair step cracks in the walls. We decided to install CarbonArmor to stabilize their walls. The CarbonArmor system includes carbon fiber fabric strips that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. These straps are bonded to the wall using high strength epoxy resin. The CarbonArmor system does notrequire exterior excavation, they installs quickly, and it won't impact future basement finishing.

Stair Step Cracking in the Wall

This wall has stair step cracking in it which is something you don't want. This means that the foundation is settling and the cracks could get worse.

A Closer Look

This is a closer look at the cracks in the wall. If you see this in your home, call us so we can help you find the perfect solution.

Loose Support

This block has cracking around it and looks as if it is being separated from the rest of the wall. This could push up on the floor or into the window and cause other issues.

Bowing Wall

There is a crack that runs horizontally under the window and to the left. This wall is bowing and that is not good, but we can provide you with a solution.

A Broken Block

This part of the wall is crumbling and pieces are falling out. You really don't want this in your home, it could lead to leaks or the wall getting worse.

Installing the Solution

The wall that was crumbling is now patched up with the CarbonArmor system. No more leaking, crumbling wall, or problems!
