Bowing walls, when left untreated can cause basements to leak. Installing CarbonArmor system by MidAmerica Basement Systems will permanently stop walls from worsening, without causing structural damage to the rest of the home. CarbonArmor is the only fabric carbon fiber product that is designed to code to stabilize masonry walls. Installing a WaterGuard system will help collect and redirect the water to a TripleSafe system, keeping the basement dry. The WaterGuard offers a wall flange feature that will collect seeping water from foundation walls, preventing water from collecting on the floor’s surface, where it will then be directed the a TripleSafe sump to be discharged from the home.

Margaret & Robert noticed bulging, bowing walls in their basement which would leak water in during rain fall. Oscar Munoz had the privilege of installing PowerBeams in the homeowner’s basement to help the walls from bowing and collapsing in.
Retaining walls prove beneficial until they exhibit bowing issues, as seen at this Knoxville, IL residence. To address this concern, we installed 6 Geo-Lock wall anchors. These anchors consist of durable steel plates connected by a rod, firmly anchored into the ground to stabilize the wall and prevent further outward movement. Geo-Lock anchors are highly effective for both foundation and retaining walls!
