Foundation Repair

Another structural foundation repair using Carbon Fiber Straps. Due to excessive Hydrostatic pressure, foundation wall moved inward and and after there was a flood and paneling was removed, the Homeowner noticed excessive  horizontal cracking.




Crack is filled with Hydro Cement and wall is plained with a special tool to provide proper surface for epoxy.


After wall preparation is done, Carbon Fiber straps are installed 4' on center to stabilize foundation wall and prevent further movement.

    Thanks for the info about foundation repair. I've never heard of carbon fiber straps being used in foundation repair. Usually I've seen foundations fixed with foundation piers.

    These pictures show some rough damage! The repairs look pretty superb though. Also, GL Hunt Foundation Repair San Antonio uses some concrete pier technology that integrates a "Carbon-Loc" technology. I think that includes the use of carbon fiber in a similar way as shown above.

    Our basement looks similar to the first picture shown. We have a large crack all along one of the walls. We need to hire a foundation repair temple company and I want to hire the best. I've heard about others bad experiences and I just want it repaired correctly. Thanks for sharing.
