Recently in Elkwood, VA, a homeowner reached out to us at NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair with concern over the unsettling discovery of bowing walls in their basement. It's not every day you notice the walls of your home curving inward, and understandly, the homeowner was eager for a fix to prevent further damage. Upon contacting our always-ready Customer Care team, we promptly scheduled a home inspection to get to the root of the issue. Our System Design Specialist soon visited the home, conducting an in-depth evaluation to diagnose the problem accurately. The verdict? The walls were indeed bowing and at risk of further deterioration or even collapse if left untreated. But, not all was lost; we had the right solutions up our sleeve – Carbon Armor and PowerBrace. We were happy to provide a clear, straightforward explanation of how Carbon Armor, a strong carbon fiber reinforcement product, along with PowerBrace, an adjustable steel I-beam system, could arrest and rectally receive the issue. These products are top in their class for stabilizing weak foundation walls and realigning them over time, providing a practical and long-lasting solution without invasive major construction. Our skilled production team, consisting of a proficient foreman and dedicated installers, then got to work. With precise attention to detail, they installed both solutions efficiently, ensuring the troublesome bowing walls were firmly supported and the risk of further inward bulging was eliminated.

The homeowner was grappling with significant challenges related to the foundation of their home. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, we dispatched our team of technical advisors for an exhaustive examination of the entire property. This wasn't just a routine check-up - it was a deep dive into the heart of the home's structure.

Our techs, armed with their expertise and keen eyes, uncovered horizontal cracks that had etched their way from one side of the house to the other, like sinister trails on a treasure map. But that wasn't all. The bottom of the foundation bore step stool cracks, which over the years had grown increasingly larger, like an ominous chasm slowly widening.

To address these alarming issues, we rolled out a robust solution. We installed the Power Brace and our Power Guard system. These aren't your average fixes. The Power Brace is designed to provide steadfast support and stabilization, helping to counteract the effects of the damaging cracks. The Power Guard system offers protection against corrosion, ensuring the longevity of the Power Brace system.

But we didn't stop there. In our commitment to fortify the foundation and prepare it to stand the harsh tests of time, we also installed carbon straps. These straps offer additional reinforcement to the foundation, providing an extra layer of support.

By implementing these comprehensive measures, we were able to address the serious issues plaguing the foundation of the home, offering the homeowner peace of mind and a more secure future for their property.
