Let’s take a quick look into some of the other foundation repair solutions we at Foundation Repair of Western Colorado can offer your home.
Carbon Fiber Wall Straps
Though wall anchors and our piers systems might be tough repair solutions, they may not be the best solution for every home. This is because wall anchors typically require a specific amount of yard space to install. If your yard does not have this ample space, our experts may then resort to installing alternative foundation repair solutions.
Our carbon fiber wall straps might not look as if they can repair an entire foundation, but do not underestimate its strength. Carbon fiber is one of the toughest materials out there, being around 10 times stronger than steel. It is used to create heavy-duty sports equipment, racecars, and even aircraft. When these straps are attached to your wall with our equally powerful epoxy resin, you can rest easy knowing that your basement walls will be slowly repaired again over time.
IntelliBrace I-Beam System
Our IntelliBrace I-beam system is yet another alternative to wall anchors that you might prefer over our carbon fiber wall straps. Essentially, they have the same function as these wall straps, only they are galvanized steel I-beams strategically braced to your basement wall instead of a thin strap. These beams are light and will take roughly the same time to install as our carbon fiber straps.
The main difference between the carbon fiber wall straps and our IntelliBrace system is the fact that the I-beams will need to be tightened over time whereas the wall straps can be left as is. This is because each beam is braced to your wall in a way that will slowly repair the cracks and damage over time. This much slower tightening method then ensures that any larger bowing issues (such as bowing that is more than two inches) will close without disrupting other parts of your home.
