Expert Basement Repair

Fortress carbon fiber is now a proven popular alternative to steel beams for reinforcing structural substrates in residential and commercial applications. It is superior to steel being stronger, stiffer, more compact and non corrosive with its patented blend of carbon fiber and Kevlar. It easily conforms to bowed walls and its carbon grid is fully encapsulated in epoxy for the best possible wall adhesion.

Fortress CFRP advantages:

• Installs quickly. Most installations are completed in one or two days
• No excavation in most cases
• No wall drilling or holes to break open
• No service required after installation
• Thin as a dime and hardly noticable after wall is painted
• Ten times stronger than steel beams in tension. See the Structural Integrity video on the home page
• Your wall can be painted after 24 hours
• Competitive pricing / certified installer
• Double Lifetime transferable guarantee
• Best repair for aesthetics and home resale
• No noxious fumes during installation

Fortress CFRP disadvantages:

• First day of wall preparation is somewhat noisy
• Sometimes a small amount of dust is generated when wall scarification is required, although EBR now utilizes Bosch HEPA vacuums for the scarification process
• Wall mounted horizontal obstacles must be moved off the wall
• Wall painting not included
• CFRP is not designed to address foundation settlement and settlement cracks
• Wall must be somewhat dry for installation
