Solution
The Solution: Liberty Basement Systems responded swiftly, dispatching a System Design Specialist for a comprehensive home inspection. The horizontal crack was identified as a clear sign of a compromised foundation requiring immediate attention. To address this, the CarbonArmor® system was recommended for its proven ability to provide robust and lasting stabilization.
The Process: A skilled production team, consisting of a foreman and experienced installers, promptly began the stabilization process. They meticulously prepared the basement wall and then adhered CarbonArmor® carbon fiber-reinforced straps along the affected area. These high-strength, yet discreet, straps were strategically placed to deliver maximum support. To further reinforce the structure and prevent inward movement, ArmorLock brackets were expertly installed at the top of the wall. The installation was finalized with the application of a high-strength epoxy resin, ensuring a durable bond and allowing the carbon fiber to effectively counteract the forces threatening the foundation's integrity.
The Outcome: The homeowner in Sugarloaf experienced a significant improvement in their peace of mind following the CarbonArmor® installation. The foundation was successfully stabilized through a non-invasive process, effectively addressing the worrying crack.
