Photo Album: Carbon Reinforcement Straps Installed in Maysville, KY Home

This garage in Maysville, KY, had a wall that was deflecting slightly inwards. We stabilized the wall with our CarbonArmor reinforcement straps to dissipate the load across the wall evenly. We also installed our ArmorLock anchor system to help secure the straps to the sil plate, which makes sure the wall can't move at the top. CarbonArmor straps are installed by first cleaning and prepping the foundation wall surface, then applying a high-strength epoxy to bond the carbon fiber directly to the concrete. The straps are pressed into place vertically along the wall, creating a permanent reinforcement that resists inward bowing without the need for heavy equipment. If you want to see the final outcome, then be sure to scroll through the photos below!

CarbonArmor Straps in Maysville, KY

These CarbonStraps are a newer foundation repair system, and they can be used in situations where the wall hasn't moved that much already. They are not capable of straightening walls back out, but they are very thin and can be concealed easily.
