Cayuga area is famous for bad soil conditions. Omni likes to call it "Haldimand Clay" When there is a wall crack in a poured foundation in this area, Our reps have to determine whether it is just a waterproofing job or it needs some structural attention as well.
In this case, the crack was large enough and had some deflection in the wall as well that Phill recommended some carbon Armor stitches before waterproofing. The Carbon Armor stitch is Carbon Fibre fabrick which is epoxied to the wall across the crack to strengthen the wall from futher bowing (deflection)
In these photos, the before and after the carbon armor is applied. They do not show the final waterproofing membrane applied over top.
Rob S. called to say that he had concerns with floor slab heaving in his basement. before he put his new floor down, he wanted to fix the heaving.
Omni Basement systems came up with a design to remove and replace his floor slab.
