CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System Installed in Ypsilanti, MI Basement

A homeowner in Ypsilanti, MI bought their house ten years ago and began renting it out shortly after. The same tenant had been renting throughout this timeframe; however, they decided it was time to move on. The homeowner made a similar decision, that it was time to sell the house. They had a realtor evaluate the property and concluded that if the basement concerns were repaired, they could sell for the maximum property value. So, they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

Zach, a senior project manager, did a thorough walkthrough of the basement and took some measurements to view the full scope of the concerns. The moisture meter registered 99.9% on all four basement walls and there was a noticeable leaning of one of the walls. Zach recommended stabilizing the wall first and then waterproofing the basement. The homeowner agreed with this plan and to have HomeSpec move forward with the repairs. Foreman Jim led the wall support team in installing the CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System, made of carbon fiber straps and epoxy resin. This system stabilized the wall in a fashion that would not impact the future owner’s ability to finish the basement if they saw fit. The homeowner was happy knowing the basement was safe for the next person to enjoy.
