Foundation Repair Photo Album: Wall Repair in Arab, AL

This customer in Arab, AL, called Frontier due to failing foundation walls. We installed our CarbonArmor Wall Repair System, as well as a downspout extension and LawnScape system, to move water away from the area. The CarbonArmor system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber strips to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls that are cracked or bowed. CarbonArmor is made from fiber-reinforced polymer that's 10 times stronger than steel and specifically designed to reinforce & stabilize basement walls.

Bowing Foundation Walls

Foundation cracks and bowing are serious problems that will worsen over time if not corrected. The experienced foundation repair specialists at Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair can determine what conditions are causing this foundation damage.

Separation of Interior Foundation Walls

Foundation wall cracks and bowing basement walls are signs that your foundation is in need of repair.

More Stair Step Cracks

Cracks in walls often display diagonal cracking extending from the bottom corners of the wall towards the top center. With either type of foundation, cracks can be accompanied by sections of wall that bow or tip inward.

Exterior Wall Cracks

Signs of foundation damage are usually easy to spot. Foundation walls built from concrete block typically crack along joint lines between blocks, forming a horizontal crack near the mid point of the wall and "stair step" cracking at the corners.

Epoxy Application

The CarbonArmor system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber strips to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls that are cracked or bowed.

CarbonArmor Installation

CarbonArmor reinforces and stabilizes basement walls utilizing the same technology used by the U.S. Department of Defense, Army Corps of Engineers and aerospace engineers to reinforce bomb shelters, skyscrapers and bridges.

CarbonArmor Specifications

Specifically designed to reinforce & stabilize basement walls. The high-strength epoxy resin absorbs pressure from the wall

CarbonArmor Install Complete

Super strong, but nearly invisible. After cleaning the wall to ensure good adhesion, the technician masks off each carbon fiber strip location and saturates the masonry with epoxy. The CarbonArmor® reinforcement becomes part of the wall structure, and can be hidden with a coat of paint.

DownSpout Extention with LawnScape System

When your gutters discharge water next to your foundation, much of it can seep directly into the soil around your home. This can significantly add to basement leaking, and it can even contribute to foundation issues. By installing any combination of our downspout extensions on your gutters, this problem can be averted.
