Inject Then Reinforce Your Cracks With BARRICADE®

Why BARRICADE™ Concrete Repair?

Annual freeze and thaw cycles and pressure from the surrounding soil create strain on a foundation wall which can cause cracks to form. For a complete repair, seal, fill then reinforce to protect against further movement, possible water leaks, as well as the entry of dangerous, naturally occurring gasses such as radon. Seal and fill with our crack injection kit then reinforce with our carbon fiber reinforcement kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Carbon fiber prevents further inward movement, but will not straighten a wall.

There is no absolute number to go by, since there are many factors to consider. To figure out the deflection in your wall, measure the difference of the highest amount of deflection compared to the rest of the wall, and please consult with your structural engineer or foundation specialist for more information

There are several signs you can look for on the interior and exterior of your home. Within your home, it is important to check your walls or ceilings for cracks and if your windows or doors are difficult to open and close. You may also notice uneven floor surfaces or cracks in concrete floors. Outside of your home, ensure you look for cracks in masonry walls that are in a “stair-step” pattern. Other signs include a tilting chimney, wood trim that has been separated around joints and corners and if the concrete driveway, sidewalk, patio or any other concrete structures separated from the foundation.

It is a good idea to contact your foundation repair specialist for further review of the cracks in your foundation. If you are noticing a crack in your foundation, most of the time it means that something has shifted or settled so it should be addressed immediately.

During the process of building your home and before a foundation is constructed, you can install a piering system to strengthen the foundation. It may also help to consult your foundation specialist during the process of construction so an analysis of the property can determine the proper foundation settlement prevention strategy.

In most cases, carbon fiber can easily be painted over or covered with a finishing product. Please consult with your paint/coating manufacturer for guidelines and TDS.

Yes, the epoxy in the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) system can be affected by UV light and we always recommend covering exposed carbon fiber with a finishing product when installing outdoors.

The BARRICADE™ Concrete Repair system is superior and faster to install than the competition, and we are still very comparable in cost.

Carbon fiber fabric on its own is fire resistant, but the epoxy used to apply it doesn’t perform well against high temperature. If you have a specific requirement for fire resistance, please contact your engineer to source out the right fire-resistant coating for the CFRP system.

There is minimal disruption to your basement.

Unfortunately, in most cases homeowner’s insurance will not cover the cost.

Absolutely. The disclosure statement should have reflected the problem and if the previous owners were aware of the problem, they are obligated to fix it. You can discuss this with a BARRICADE™ Concrete Repair representative and then your attorney. Additionally, if you are selling a house, you have to fix the problem prior to selling the house.

Work can be completed year round.

Yes, if your wall is cracked it will continue to get worse over the next few years. It is better to fix it when the wall is not bowing rather than after a large bow occurs.

Yes, we have products designed to fix this problem. Please consult your structural engineer or foundation specialist for more information.

No, unfortunately no carbon fiber system will be able to stop this. You should consult with a piering contractor for a solution.
