A homeowner in Glen Rock, New Jersey had cracks in their basement walls and contacted Quality 1st for a solution. Our System Design Specialist inspected the basement walls and noticed the cracking. To prevent the wall from cracking more and stabilize it, CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System was installed on the walls. CarbonArmor contains strips that are made from a reinforced polymer that is 10 times stronger than steel. The strips are attached to the wall and secured with heavy-duty steel brackets. The straps will stabilize the wall and begin to pull it back to its original position. CarbonArmor installs quickly and will not impact future basement finishing.
Quality 1st Basements recommended our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, and a full basement waterproofing system to keep this basement dry and healthy. The Vapor Barrier prevents moisture and water seepage through the foundation walls. Our SuperSump Pump and WaterGuard drainage system will collect and direct any water seepage out of the basement preventing dampness and mold growth.
