Discovering cracks or bowing in your basement walls is understandably alarming. While these issues are not uncommon, they can compromise the structural integrity and value of your home.

When it comes to bowing or cracks that compromise the stability of your home, Mount Valley Foundation Services has an ideal solution: Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcement.

With years of trusted service across South Carolina and Western North Carolina, we provide a modern, economical approach to fortify your basement walls for the long term.

In this page, you will learn about carbon fiber straps, their benefits, and how our skilled team can help strengthen your basement walls.

What Is Carbon Fiber Basement Wall Reinforcement?

Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcement is an innovative remedy for cracking and bowing issues in your basement walls.

We begin by applying slim, yet incredibly strong, straps that adhere to your basement walls. These straps are 10 times stronger than steel, making them particularly effective for walls with minor to moderate damage.

Unlike traditional solutions like steel beams, carbon fiber straps are unobtrusive and take up minimal space. They are also easy to cover for aesthetic purposes.

If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to consider our Carbon Fiber wall reinforcement service:

Horizontal, vertical, or stair-step wall cracks
Walls that are bowing or tilting inward
Wall shearing

For severely damaged walls, alternative methods like wall beams or anchors may be necessary. Contact us for a free inspection to determine the best course of action.

Is Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcement Necessary?
