"would NOT recommend! Before I bought my house the seller hired this company to put up carbon fiber strips.. They put carbon fiber straps into our crawl space.. stood by this work and claimed there was nothing wrong with this work.. however we had many foundation contractors come out because it did not seem right and we were told a wall anchor was going to be put it and found these straps instead. and all said the same thing. What is this it looks like a 5 year old did it.. ram jack stood by this work and says it is doing its job and there is no need for an anchor at the bottom of the straps and it not being flushed against the wall and pulling up is a “ blemish not a failure” however once I reached out to the manufacturer of the carbon fiber strips I get an email stating it is “ dis heartining to see such a poor install and they will help me through this entire process.” Since the walls were not prepped properly or carbon fiber straps placed properly. as well as the co founder saying this job looks like a 5 year old did it as well. However they have refused to reach back out to the co founder of fortress who has tried to be in contact with them. Instead they email the seller of my house and CC me in stating they will only pay 1600 dollars of the job out of the $4800 that was paid.. SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE!!!! *** anyone who knows about carbon fiber straps is they need to be anchored at the top and bottom however in our case they did not pour a footing to properly secure the carbon fiber straps with an anchor at the bottom***"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

The best way to waterproof a basement is to install a properly functioning gutter system and a French drain around the outside of the foundation. The best solution for your home could involve other waterproofing methods that resolve the problem unique to your situation. Depending on your soil type, climate, and other factors, that could include sealing, landscape alteration, interior drainage systems, and more.

Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they’ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.

Topical sealers adhere to the surface of concrete to create a protective layer. In many cases, this is all you need for concrete that sees light to moderate traffic, such as your basement. Penetrating sealers, on the other hand, bond with the free lime in the top layer of concrete to form calcium silicate, which prevents liquid from passing through. This type of sealer protects the surface from water, oil, and gasoline spills.

Overwatering can cause issues like water pooling and drainage problems. To prevent overwatering, monitor your soil levels on a regular basis and change your watering schedule as necessary.

Water damage to a foundation often starts as a slow leak or water vapor problem that worsens over the course of months or even years. The speed at which foundation leaks worsen depends on a few factors, including your climate and location, the soil composition around your home, the foundation drainage system you have in place, if any, and the type of foundation you have. Even if you have a minor issue that’s slow to develop, it’s best to have a professional address the issue immediately.
