The Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcing System is a state-of-the-art solution used to fix cracked and bowing foundation walls.
Carbon Fiber reinforces and stabilizes basement walls utilizing the same technology used by the U.S. Department of Defense, Army Corps of Engineers and aerospace engineers to reinforce bomb shelters, skyscrapers and bridges.
The sooner you repair damaged foundation walls, the better
Signs of foundation damage are usually easy to spot. Foundation walls built from concrete block typically crack along joint lines between blocks, forming a horizontal crack near the mid point of the wall and “stair step” cracking at the corners.
Cracks in poured concrete walls often display diagonal cracking extending from the bottom corners of the wall towards the top center. With either type of foundation, cracks can be accompanied by sections of wall that bow or tip inward.
Carbon fiber straps and epoxy make a low-profile repair
Once our foundation repair specialists know how many carbon fiber strips will be required to properly reinforce the wall, the installation process goes quickly. High-strength epoxy is used to adhere the Carbon Fiber strips to the wall and to enhance each strip’s strength. Once the repair is complete, the strips will “disappear” when the entire wall gets a coat of paint.
Stop inward wall movement. Our system consists of straps and brackets that connect Carbon Fiber reinforcement strips to the building’s perimeter framing.
Solve tilting wall problems with Carbon Fiber
When soil pressure is causing the top of the foundation wall to tilt inward, extra reinforcement is required.
This is where our wall reinforcing system can come to the rescue. It is designed to be used in combination with Carbon Fiber reinforcement.
With our system, a super-strong carbon fiber strap is fused to each strip and anchored to a heavy-duty steel bracket that’s lag-screwed to the rim joist.
Locking the foundation wall to the rim joist will prevent soil pressure from pushing the top of the wall inward, away from this perimeter framing.
Because our system takes up very little space, there’s usually no need to relocate ductwork and other basement equipment.
The experts at Ohio Basement Systems use Carbon Fiber strips to reinforce a repaired crack in a foundation wall.
Use Carbon Fiber wall stitches to reinforce wall crack repairs
A cracked foundation wall can be repaired using polyurethane injection, epoxy or patching mortar to fill and seal the crack.
Whichever technique is used, the repair can be reinforced using Carbon Fiber strips in a wall stitch repair.
Your Ohio Basement Systems technician will epoxy a series of strips across the crack, significantly improving the overall stability of the wall.
To make a solid crack repair even stronger and more stable, you can’t beat the performance offered by Carbon Fiber wall stitches.
