Mackenzie has a home in St. Catharines with a block foundation. the foundation wall is being waterproofed but before we do that, we have to address the bowing wall.
Omni basement Systems installed the Carbon Armor system from Supportworks. Carbon Armor is made up of two parts. A ArmorLock stap of carbon fiber which is attache by steel clip to the wall and the rim joist to prevent the wall from tipping and then a 7" wide strip of Carbon Fiber is adhered to the Block wall from top to bottom of the block foundation. The carbon Fiber staps are 20 times stronger than steel steel strapping.
Brian experince foundation settllement in his St catharines house. It was getting worse over the past couple years so he called Omi Basement Systems to see how it could be repaired.
Omni along with a P. Eng engineer came up with a plan for Supportwoks Push Pier System.

Lisa S. had sagging floors in her St.Catharines home and wanted to add a support beam to secure her sagging floors.
Omni Basement Systems installed the SmartJacks by Supportworks. Smartjacks are engineered, fully galvanized and adjustable house jacks. Combined with a supplemental support beam, Omni was able to support her floor properly.
Alaine & Robert has a house in St. Catharines, ON with a dirt floor crawlspace. Like most houses with this type of foundation, the floors are sagging because of moisture and poorly supported floors. Omni Basement Systems installed the very strong SmartJacks in the crawlspace. The smartJacks are made from fully galvanized steel so they are rust free. They are designed to hold 30,000lbs each. Omni also installed a supplemental beam to carry the load across the floor system. The SmartJacks are also fully adjustable so you can always make sure that your floor stays level over time.
