This home was experiencing water intrusion through foundational cracks that was seeping into the basement. The cinderblock walls were also showing signs of bowing. To address these issues, we implemented a Water Guard system in the basement and added Carbon Fiber straps to the walls to prevent further bowing. Additionally, we installed a sump pump that leads to an external discharge line. With these improvements, the homeowner can now proceed with finishing the basement, free from worry about structural problems or water damage.
