Homeowners in Parkville, Maryland contacted Armored Basement Waterproofing after noticing horizontal cracks and inward bowing in their basement block wall—a common sign of pressure from saturated soil pushing against the foundation.
The Problem
The basement foundation wall showed horizontal cracking and bowing, indicating structural stress caused by hydrostatic pressure and water buildup outside the foundation. Left untreated, bowing walls can continue moving inward and eventually compromise the structural integrity of the home.
The Solution
Armored Basement installed a complete structural stabilization and waterproofing system, including:
Steel I-Beam Wall Supports to permanently stabilize the bowing foundation wall
Interior Drain Tile Waterproofing System to relieve hydrostatic pressure
Sump Pump System to collect and discharge water away from the home
Wall Vapor Barrier to direct moisture into the drainage system and keep the basement dry
The Result
The Parkville basement is now structurally stabilized and protected from future water intrusion. With the wall reinforced and the waterproofing system in place, the homeowner now has a dry, secure, and healthier basement environment.
