This page will provide you with insight on how our carbon fiber straps can stabilize your home’s foundation. With more than 30 years of expertise, trust us to permanently fix your basement.

What Is Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcement?

The SettleStop^TM Carbon Fiber System utilizes the incredible strength of carbon fiber, which is 10 times stronger than steel once installed. These durable straps bond firmly to walls to halt movement and damage.

They work well for walls shifted inward less than two inches. The thin straps blend in subtly and can be concealed with basement finishing.

Signs Your Walls Need Carbon Fiber Straps

Watch for these symptoms that your walls need reinforcing:

Spiderweb cracking or diagonal cracks
Walls bowing inward
Top of walls tilting inward
Less than two inches of wall movement

If your walls have substantial damage, our wall repair system or anchors may be better repair options.

Is Carbon Fiber Basement Wall Reinforcement Necessary?

Yes! Reinforcing at the first signs of damage prevents more serious structural problems down the road and escalating costs.

Our carbon fiber seamlessly integrates into our complete structural repair approach to keep your home safe for years.
