What Is Carbon Fiber Basement Wall Reinforcement?

Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcement is a cutting-edge repair measure specifically engineered to stabilize and strengthen basement walls with damage such as cracking and inward bowing.

Utilizing carbon fiber’s remarkable strength—10 times that of steel after installation—our low-profile straps securely adhere to the walls, providing the ideal fix for minor to moderate damage. Unlike traditional steel beams, Carbon Fiber straps are discreet and space-saving, making them an excellent choice for modern homes.

Wall cracks in various patterns (horizontal, vertical, or stair-step)
Inwardly bowing or bending walls
Walls shearing at the top or bottom

If you encounter more severe wall issues, alternative solutions such as wall beams or wall anchors may be more suitable. Reach out to us for a free, expert assessment to determine exactly what your home requires.

What Are the Benefits of Carbon Fiber Basement Wall Reinforcement?

Unobtrusive Appearance: Carbon Fiber straps are sleek and discreet, allowing for easy concealment with paint or drywall when finishing your basement.
Superior Structural Integrity: Carbon Fiber reinforcement delivers unmatched strength to your basement walls. While they do not restore the walls’ appearance, the straps hold the walls in their current positions to effectively stop further damage.
Durable and Long-Lasting: Carbon Fiber is not comprised of metal, so it doesn’t corrode over time, offering a permanent solution superior to traditional methods.
