Carbon Fiber Foundation Repair

You've heard the buzz about carbon fiber foundation repair. How it's the newest and most efficient way to repair your foundation. And you're probably wondering if it's true.

And the answer is: it depends on the type of foundation problem.

Carbon fiber foundation repair can be the best solution to certain types of foundation problems. It's typically used in basement foundation repair when there's a horizontal wall crack or slightly bowed wall.

Carbon fiber foundation repair involves installing a carbon strap on the basement wall. We use CarbonArmor which is a state-of-the-art carbon fiber material that's 10-times stronger than steel. It uses the same technology as that used by the US Department of Defense to reinforce bomb shelters, sky scrapers and bridges. So you can see that's some strong stuff!

The strips are glued onto your basement walls with an epoxy resin. This absorbs any pressure from the walls which will prevent damage to the floors or ceilings - as can occur with the installation of an I-Beam reinforcement system.

And installation of the carbon fiber foundation repair system takes less than a day. Once CarbonArmor is installed you can cover it up with paint or drywall since your foundation is now stabilized.

As is the case with any foundation repair, it's important to consult with an expert to find out if carbon fiber foundation repair is the best solution to your home's problem
