Products we use to fix bad cracked, bowing, sinking or settling foundations

THE REINFORCER^® is a patented revolutionary carbon fiber system developed by professional engineers. A combination of space-age polymers and carbon fibers are processed to create a material that provides the perfect solution to cracking foundation walls. The Reinforcer prevents the wall from bowing further, period. Once installed, The Reinforcer carbon fiber straps can even be painted over, helping them easily bend into the wall. The Basement Doctor is the exclusive installer of this powerful solution for bowed basement foundation walls.

Pre-Application:  A failing foundation wall 
Why walls bow and eventually collapse: Typically, foundations are stressed when pressure is exerted on the outside from the foundation, causing the walls to crack and separate beyond their tensile capacity. If not stopped, or properly reinforced, foundations could collapse.

Post-Application: A safe and secure basement foundation wall 
The Reinforcer^® stops wall movement and prevents further wall bowing. When The Reinforcer^® is applied to foundations, it counteracts further outside pressure on the wall, taking the tension force or tensile load that the concrete or mortar joint cannot. It economically 'locks' the wall in place, preventing further movement!

THE REINFORCER^® will withstand and resist outside soil pressure, plus destructive hydrostatic pressure produced by water buildup and expanding ice. Our Reinforcer solution counteracts further outside pressure on the wall, taking the tension force (or tensile load) that the wall cannot support.

THE REINFORCER^® supports walls consisting of concrete, cinder block, poured cement, brick, and clay tile to stabilize cracking, bowing, or buckling foundations by supplying equal and opposite resistance.
