What Is Carbon Fiber Basement Wall Reinforcement?

SettleStop^TM Carbon Fiber System is a cutting-edge solution for stabilizing foundation walls showing signs of stress.

Using the remarkable strength of carbon fiber, which is 10 times stronger than steel once installed, these durable straps firmly bond to basement walls to stop movement and damage.

They are ideal for walls with minimal issues that have moved inward less than two inches. Unlike bulky beams or anchors, carbon fiber blends in discreetly and can be covered with basement finishing.

Know the Signs Your Walls Need Reinforcing

Keep an eye out for these common symptoms that your walls require stabilization:

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 solutions.

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.

Benefits of Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcement

Structural Support

Carbon fiber straps significantly enhance wall strength to stop additional damage.

Low-Profile Look

The thin straps blend in discreetly with minimal visual disruption. They can easily be concealed with paint or drywall.

Long-Lasting Solution

Carbon fiber doesn’t corrode like other materials, giving it a longer lifespan than some repair methods on the market.

Our proprietary carbon fiber system surpasses generic products in durability and performance.
