Wall Reinforcement & Repair Services
WALL REINFORCEMENT SERVICES
Serving Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh-Durham, Wilmington, and Greenville-Spartanburg
Providing repairs for walls is our specialty. Carolina Foundation Solutions can provide the right solution and system for existing walls that are in need of additional reinforcement and/or lateral support. The most common and most effective methods of providing reinforcement and lateral support are the installation of carbon fiber reinforcement straps (CFR) and/or the installation of helical tieback anchors (wall anchors).
Wall Reinforcement Services
The use of carbon fiber reinforcements has proven to be one of the most successful and effective methods of stabilizing existing walls and other structural components.
Carolina Foundation Solutions is trained and certified in the installation of top-of-the-line carbon fiber wall reinforcement products for use in residential dwellings, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. We can also reinforce pipelines, roadways, and bridges.
Our solutions include carbon fiber / Kevlar grid reinforcement straps; carbon fiber corner strap kits; and carbon fiber reinforcement sheets and fabrics. These technologies can be used to repair bowing walls; reinforce shifting walls, and repair damaged structural concrete columns.

Wall Anchoring Services
For failing walls, new walls that are to be constructed, or simply existing walls in need of additional lateral support, Carolina Foundation Solutions uses the CHANCE Helical Tieback Anchors as a means of providing a reliable and effective solution. The helical anchors can be installed quickly and efficiently using small equipment. The wall anchors are driven into the adjacent soils, providing immediate and accurate results where lateral support is needed. The anchors can then be immediately tensioned and tested without the need for cure time.

Carbon fiber has numerous advantages as a structural reinforcement material:
- Carbon fiber is an extremely strong, durable, and safe material.
- Carbon fiber will not rust, deteriorate, stretch, creep, or bend.
- Carbon fiber is stronger, stiffer, and lighter than steel.
Due to the high strength to weight ratio, the corrosion resistant properties, and cost-effectiveness, the installation of carbon fiber reinforcement systems is ideal for repairs in the construction industry.
