| Way to reinforce cracked and bowing basement walls The Crack Killer is a quicker and cheaper way to reinforce cracked and bowing basement walls. By marrying advanced carbon fiber technology together with a urethane-based sealant professional engineers, have created an elegant solution to repairing bowed, cracked and leaking basement walls. The system is being offered to professional foundation contractors and basement repair contractors who will become certified installers with local territories across the country. The Crack Killer team says, "Typically to reinforce cracked and bowing walls, contractors have used costly steel beams that also intrude on the space. This can also require engineering and fabrication of custom beams. With The Crack Killer we've come up with a way to effect an equally strong repair in less time, with less cost and less impact on the home." The Crack Killer foundation repair system features a carbon fiber mesh that reinforces basement or foundation walls with a layer that is only one sixteenth of an inch thick and six inches wide. It can support and retain walls that are cracked and bowing with the same degree of strength as much bulkier and costlier steel beam systems. With The Crack Killer correctly applied, a foundation wall becomes strong and structural again able to resist soil pressure, hydrostatic pressure, freezing and thawing. It works well on concrete block, poured concrete, brick and wood walls to stabilize cracking, and strengthen bowing on all types of construction. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
