Customer was worried about the kitchen floor above the basement because it was bowing. NV solved the problem by installing a new floor joist.
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. Concerned about the long-term stability of the foundation, they contacted NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair for a professional foundation inspection.
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. CarbonArmor uses strong carbon fiber straps that are bonded directly to the basement wall, creating a low-profile foundation repair solution without the need for bulky steel beams. Once installed, the system helped reinforce the foundation wall and gave the homeowner peace of mind knowing their basement was protected by a trusted local foundation repair expert.
If you notice bowing basement walls, stair-step cracks, horizontal cracks, or foundation movement in your Fairfax, VA home, NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair can help. Schedule a free foundation inspection and estimate today.
