Supporting a Weak Basement Wall in Grand Rapids, MI

This Grand Rapids home has some stairstep cracks on the basement walls and the owner is worried that the support is weak. We used CarbonArmor to support the wall and make sure more cracks don't get worse. The CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System is made up of carbon fiber fabric straps, that are stronger in tension than steel, and the straps are bonded to the wall with an epoxy resin. The straps will stabilize the wall and the best part is that the system requires no exterior excavation and won't impact future basement finishing.
