Basement Technologies® installs carbon fibre staples over the existing concrete crack injection to ensure that the foundation is stabilized and structurally strong.

Epoxy Crack Injection + Carbon Fibre Staples

The most effective way to repair a crack is by injecting the crack from the inside with an Epoxy based solution while also stabilizing the foundation crack by installing Carbon Fibre Staples.

Carbon Fibre Staples:
With the installation of Carbon Fibre Staples, the load is distributed evenly along the repaired crack. By cross-stitching the repaired crack, any displacement from hydrostatic pressure and/or shifting soil will have no effect on the repaired crack itself.

Window Well Repairs:
We at Basement Technologies® highly recommend the installation of Carbon Fibre Staples with all crack injection repairs that occur below or beside existing basement windows. More than 50% of all crack repairs happen at the base of a homeowner's basement window. This occurs due to the structural weakness around the window well. Freezing ground water will push the window cut out to the point of fracturing, thus causing a cracked foundation to occur over time.

Our trained specialists will inject the cracked area around your window while also increasing the structural integrity near the window through the installation of our Carbon Fibre Staples.

Carbon Fibre Crack Injection Service Process:

Epoxy Crack Injection Process:
This is a two-step process. First, we inject the crack location with our Epoxy Crack Injection solutions. Steps on how we perform a regular concrete crack injection can be found here. Once complete, we then continue on to install Carbon Fibre Staples over the repaired crack.

Slots are Grinded:
Small slots are grinded on both sides of the crack, to ensure the carbon fibre staple is firmly in place.

Installation of the Carbon Fibre Staple:
Once slots are made, our specialist then places the carbon fibre staples along the crack. Typical installations include 2-4 staples depending on the severity of the foundation issues.

Epoxy Hardening Solution:
In order to ensure that the staple never moves again we paste a specially formulated epoxy based solution over the entire carbon fibre staple. Once cured, this will guarantee that the staples do not move for the life of the foundation.
