Stabilizing Bowing Foundation Walls in Zionsville
Challenge
A homeowner in Zionsville, PA, contacted Liberty Basement Systems with a significant concern: their foundation walls were bowing and shifting, causing understandable alarm about their home's structural integrity. No one wants their home playing a tug-of-war game with gravity.
Upon their call, our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled an inspection. Our System Design Specialist then meticulously investigated the underground conundrum, confirming the homeowner's fears: foundation troubles stemming from bowing and shifting concrete block walls.
Solution
To rectify this serious issue, Liberty Basement Systems implemented a dual-pronged solution utilizing CarbonArmor® and PowerBrace™ systems. Our production team efficiently secured the home's foundation with CarbonArmor® straps. These advanced, high-strength polymer straps, stronger than steel, were applied to reinforce the compromised walls without causing further disruption. Following this, the PowerBrace™ system was installed, providing crucial, long-lasting support by securing custom-fit steel beams in place.
With the foundation walls straightened and robustly supported, the "mischief" of bowing and shifting was effectively resolved. The homeowner could finally rest easy, assured their house was stable and secure. This project exemplifies how Liberty Basement Systems provides permanent, reliable fixes for serious foundation problems with minimal fuss, making hard work look easy.
