A homeowner in Fairfax, Virginia noticed their basement cinderblock walls were beginning to bow inward, a common sign of foundation pressure caused by expanding soil, moisture, and hydrostatic pressure around the home.

After evaluating the basement walls, our design specialist recommended the CarbonArmor® wall reinforcing system to help stabilize the bowing cinderblock walls and prevent further inward movement.
