Bowed Brick Wall

Any foundation wall problems in your home need to be treated as fast as possible. One of the most common problems associated with a new structure is bowed walls. A bowed brick wall is a warning sign of more underlying foundation problems. These problems could be caused by lateral pressure, clay brick, house settling, and tree root damage among other issues.

The problem with a bowing wall problem is the fact that most homeowners will not notice it until it is too late. In fact, most of these problems are discovered by contractors looking for causes of water entry, mold or other issues. All these are problems that emanate from bowing of the foundation walls, hence the need for quick repairs.

If you have noticed warning signs including uneven floors, water seepage into the basement, brick wall cracks among others, it is important to immediately call in a foundation contractor who will carry out a thorough inspection and recommend the best way forward.

Leveraging Carbon Fiber Technology

One of the most popular solutions to deal with a bowed foundation is using StablWall carbon fiber technology. This is a carbon fiber technology-based foundation wall repair system. It includes carbon fiber sheets that are bonded to the affected walls to prevent any further movement. Carbon fiber technology has been found to be 10X stronger than steel and provides a permanent solution to the problem.

There are many other advantages of using this technology over any other in foundation repairs. Take a look:

1. Cost-savings: Unlike piering and other wall repair solutions, StablWall does not involve extensive excavations. This saves you a lot of money that would have otherwise gone into the cost of hiring equipment and personnel for the job.
2. Stability: This foundation wall repair method offers a permanent solution to bowing. Carbon fiber sheets used will not stretch or corrode meaning the strength they provide is permanent.
3. Low maintenance: No maintenance is required to the treated walls. Once the carbon fiber sheets are in place, you don’t have to worry about repairs because this is a permanent solution.
4. Ease of installation: Unlike other solutions to a bowed brick wall, carbon fiber technology is easy to install. All you need are the carbon fiber sheets that will be fixed on the affected walls and permanently glued together with a special epoxy.

StablWall is one of the most popular construction technologies and you can now use it to give your house more strength and protect it from further deterioration.
