Repaired stone wall

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.

Super strong, but nearly invisible. After cleaning the wall to ensure good adhesion, the technician masks off each carbon fiber strip location and saturates the masonry with epoxy. The CarbonArmor® reinforcement becomes part of the wall structure, and can be hidden with a coat of paint.

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 CarbonArmor® 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.

The experts at Southern Tier Basement Systems use CarbonArmor® strips to reinforce a repaired crack in a foundation wall.

Use CarbonArmor® 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 CarbonArmor® strips in a wall stitch repair.

Your Southern Tier 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 CarbonArmor® wall stitches.
