Wall Reinforcement and Stabilization With CarbonArmor
Repair Your Bowing, Buckling Foundation Walls With Our Low-Profile Repair System
Cracked and bowing basement walls can be scary, unattractive and can affect the value and usability of your home. Inward movement of a basement wall is generally caused by the expansion of the soil outside your home. Over time, basement walls can no longer resist the pressure from the soil, and the wall begins to crack and bow inward.
Bowing basement wall problems can be fixed permanently, quickly, and with almost no disruption to your home.
The CarbonArmor™ Wall Reinforcing System from Foundation Supportworks reinforces and stabilizes your basement walls, restoring value and integrity to your home. The CarbonArmor™ System is a Fiber-Reinforced Polymer that is 10 times stronger than steel and is specifically designed for basement walls. The carbon fiber technology used in the CarbonArmor™ system is the same technology used by the US Department of Defense, Army Corp of Engineers and aerospace engineers to reinforce skyscrapers, bomb shelters and bridges around the world.
Installing The CarbonArmor System
The CarbonArmor™ System is installed from the inside of your home using a high-strength epoxy resin which absorbs any pressure from the wall, rather than transferring that pressure into your floor system like traditional I-beam systems. Installations require no outside digging and are typically completed in less than one day. The system’s flexible design allows the strap to contour tight against your foundation wall, ensuring the ultimate coverage and adhesion when compared to other wall repair systems.
CarbonArmor™ Installation Steps:
 Step 1: Prepare the wall surface for the CarbonArmor™ strap. |
 Step 2: Measure the wall and cut strap to proper length. |
 Step 3: Completely saturate the CarbonArmor™ strap with epoxy resin. |
 Step 4: Apply epoxy resin to the foundation wall. |
 Step 5: Adhere the CarbonArmor™ strap to the wall. |
 Step 6: Apply a final topcoat of epoxy and ensure uniform adhesion to the wall. |
The low-profile design of the CarbonArmor™ System means the straps can easily be concealed with paint or drywall and does not compromise any of your valuable basement living space.
