Charles’ historic home in Markham, VA, faced severe water intrusion due to poor drainage and deteriorating stone window wells. Rainwater pooled around the foundation, increasing the risk of basement moisture issues, mold growth, and structural weakening.

Delinia’s home in Gore, VA, had two severe stair-step cracks in the foundation walls, which showed signs of shifting and bowing. These stair-step foundation cracks allowed moisture to seep into the basement, potentially causing structural damage if left unchecked.

LUX Foundation Solutions used carbon fiber reinforcement and foundation repointing to stabilize the walls and seal the cracks. The solution restored the foundation’s stability and protected the home from further damage and moisture infiltration.
