Foundation Strengthening

You will likely own your home or commercial building for a great many years. There is every reason to believe, however, that over the course of a decade or so the concrete basement walls and foundation of your home will need repair. The hydrostatic (water) pressure exerted against your foundation, the shifting of the surrounding soil, and the subsidence beneath your home are natural processes that are just going to happen. And any one or all three of those processes will wreak mayhem upon the concrete components of your home. Knowing that, it’s prudent to remember the old proverb that a few thousand dollars in carbon fiber structural strengthening kits for your foundation is worth a lifetime of peace of mind and feelings of security.

The efficacy of carbon fiber in residential, commercial, and heavy construction becomes more evident every year. Entire buildings are being made from carbon fiber, and for years it has been used to provide support and reinforcement to concrete structures, such as highway overpasses, bridges, dams, high-rises, and parking garages. Frequently used for repair, carbon fiber reinforcement can be part of a new construction project, or used to repair or reinforce an already existing wall or concrete structure.
