Bowed, cracked foundation walls that need support can be reinforced by applying Unidirectional Carbon Fiber straps.
Applied to the interior wall these form structural columns to support the foundation’s wall. Carbon fiber is ten times stronger than steel and can be used to provide complete wall stabilization that prevents further wall movement. This works especially well after epoxy crack injections for poured walls. Block walls can have added support that will extend the life of the foundation. Unidirectional carbon spreads the stress load across the wall area vs steel which has all the stress concentrated in a few spots. Carbon fiber can be used to support around door, and window openings. Carbon fiber wall repair is cost-effective and is easy to apply even as a DIY kit.
