A homeowner in Watertown, CT expressed concerns regarding a large crack in his basement wall. Fearing impending structural issues, he reached out to Connecticut Basement Systems, scheduling a free in-home consultation with Sales Representative Steve Machnicz.
Once Machnicz arrived at the home, he proceeded to survey the wall and surrounding area. With a proposal drafted, Machnicz offered his suggestions. Ultimately, Foreman Sergio Alves, Jacob Scott, and team installed CarbonArmor, reinforcement straps ten times stronger than steel. Once the install was complete, the homeowner felt much more confident in his basement's wall!
Fastening Straps
Fastening the straps into the joists ensures a strong, dependable system.
Epoxy Application - Straps
Epoxied to the wall, these straps are also secured to the joists, helping secure the wall and additional straps.
Wall Epoxy
Preparing the wall for the additional straps, epoxy is applied all the way down the wall in the path of the additional straps.
Final Results
Once installed, the straps take a few days to solidify, forming a strong bond with the concrete.
