Assessing Bowing Walls Prior to CarbonArmor Installation - Advance, NC
This image captures the critical assessment phase before CarbonArmor installation in a crawl space in Advance, NC. Visible along the block foundation wall are signs of bowing and inward movement caused by prolonged lateral soil pressure. At this stage, our team carefully inspects and documents the condition of the wall to ensure precise placement of the CarbonArmor straps. Proper surface preparation is essential to ensure a strong bond between the carbon fiber and the wall. This step sets the foundation for a long-lasting structural reinforcement solution.
Mixing Epoxy Resin for CarbonArmor Application - Advance, NC
In this step, our crew member prepares the two-part epoxy resin used to bond the CarbonArmor straps to the foundation wall. Carefully measured and thoroughly mixed, this epoxy is what creates the high-strength connection between the carbon fiber material and the concrete surface. The mixture must be precise to ensure long-term durability and effectiveness. This behind-the-scenes moment in Advance, NC shows the care and technical detail that go into reinforcing structurally compromised walls.
Saturating CarbonArmor Straps with Epoxy - Advance, NC
In this step, the CarbonArmor straps are thoroughly saturated with the specially mixed epoxy resin to ensure maximum adhesion to the foundation wall. The epoxy is evenly applied along the carbon fiber surface, preparing it for secure placement. This process is essential to creating a durable bond that will permanently reinforce the wall against future bowing or shifting. This behind-the-scenes moment from a project in Advance, NC highlights the precision and care taken during every stage of structural stabilization.
Installing CarbonArmor Straps for Wall Stabilization - Advance, NC
In this final installation stage, our crew carefully applies the epoxy-saturated CarbonArmor straps directly to the bowing foundation wall. Using rollers, the straps are pressed firmly onto the block surface to ensure full contact and a strong, permanent bond. This system works by distributing lateral pressure across the wall and locking it in place, preventing further movement. Captured in Advance, NC, this photo shows the precision and teamwork involved in delivering a clean, effective structural reinforcement solution-without the need for invasive excavation.
CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement Complete - Advance, NC
Following the careful placement and bonding of each strap, the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement System is now fully installed. This photo from the Advance, NC project shows the final result multiple epoxy-secured carbon fiber straps anchored from top to bottom along the bowing foundation wall. The system is now actively working to prevent any further inward movement, distributing pressure evenly across the wall's surface. With this clean, low-profile solution in place, the structure is stabilized, and the homeowner can feel confident in the long-term integrity of their foundation.
