This page will provide information on how our carbon fiber straps can stabilize your home’s foundation. With over 15 years of expertise, trust us to permanently fix your basement.

What Is Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcement?

Carbon fiber straps utilize the incredible strength of carbon fiber, which is 10 times stronger than steel once installed. These durable straps bond firmly to walls to halt movement and damage.

They work well for walls shifted inward less than two inches. The thin straps blend in subtly and can be concealed with basement finishing.

Signs Your Walls Need Carbon Fiber Straps

Watch for these symptoms that your walls need reinforcing:

Spiderweb cracking or diagonal cracks
Walls bowing inward
Top of walls tilting inward
Less than two inches of wall movement

If your walls have substantial damage, our wall repair system or anchors may be better fixes.

Is Carbon Fiber Basement Wall Reinforcement Necessary?

Yes! Reinforcing at the first signs of damage prevents more serious structural problems down the road and escalating costs.

Our carbon fiber seamlessly integrates into our complete structural repair approach to keep your home safe for years.

Benefits of Carbon Fiber Reinforcement

FAQs

Is it necessary to hire professionals for the installation of carbon fiber straps?

While it might be tempting to consider a DIY approach, it’s highly recommended to hire professionals for the installation of carbon fiber straps. Incorrect installation can result in ineffective stabilization and could potentially worsen existing structural issues.

What factors affect the cost of installing carbon fiber straps?

Several factors can influence the cost of installing carbon fiber straps, including the size and condition of the area to be reinforced, labor costs, and the quality of the straps themselves. It’s always advisable to get multiple quotes and consult with experts to understand the specific needs of your project.

Are carbon fiber straps visible after installation?

One of the advantages of using carbon fiber straps is their low-profile design, which allows them to be easily concealed or painted over after installation. Carbon fiber straps are thin and can be integrated discreetly into your structure, preserving the aesthetic value of your home or building.
