Carbon fiber is many times stronger than concrete and when applied correctly, the original wall strength can be regained.

Some cracks (including horizontal cracks, bowing cracks and street creep cracks) occur because outside pressure causes the concrete to stress and break. If these are caught early, additional movement and damage can be stopped by applying carbon fiber “beams” to the wall. Carbon fiber is regularly used to repair and enhance strength on large projects such as highway bridges and parking structures. It is important for the homeowner to be educated about why these stress cracks occurred in the first place and then take action to relieve the pressure that caused the concrete to break.
