Carbon Fiber Basement Wall Reinforcement

Discovering wall cracks or bowing walls in your basement is a serious issue that many Colorado homeowners face every year. Basement wall damage can compromise your home’s safety, structural integrity, and market value.

The good news is that these problems can be permanently solved. As a leader in basement repair, Foundation Repair of Western Colorado offers a modern, innovative solution: carbon fiber reinforcement. Let’s explore how this revolutionary technology will fortify your basement.

What Is Carbon Fiber Basement Wall Reinforcement?

Carbon Fiber basement wall reinforcement leverages cutting-edge technology that was originally developed by U.S. Dept. of Defense! This technology is designed to reinforce and stabilize foundation walls that exhibit signs of cracking and bowing.

These carbon fiber strips are incredibly strong and essentially become part of the wall structure after installation. They provide a reliable, long-lasting solution for walls that have moved inward less than two inches. Unlike other repair options like I-beams, carbon fiber straps are minimally invasive and occupy very little space.

Signs You Need Carbon Fiber Basement Wall Reinforcement

If you notice the following signs on your basement walls, timely action is critical:

Horizontal, vertical, or stair-step pattern wall cracks
Walls bowing or bending
Walls shearing at top or bottom
Movement inward of less than two inches

Every home has its unique challenges, so other solutions like IntelliBrace™ wall repair, wall anchors, or channel anchors might be more appropriate. Reach out for a free consultation to determine the most effective remedy for your home.
