The appearance of a crack in a foundation is enough to send chills down a homeowner’s spine. That is because the last thing a homeowner wants is to spend a lot of money on repairing their foundation. It’s therefore not surprising that homeowners search for the solution they believe will cost them the least to have their foundations repaired.
Quality over Cost
The problem with looking for the lowest cost solution is that it isn’t always the best solution for your foundation. Foundation cracks don’t go away if you ignore them. Neither is the problem resolved by applying a band-aid solution such as crack injection. Your issue is only going to get worse if you don’t use the best solution for crack repair.
Quality has to take priority over cost when it comes to foundation repair. Spending money to repair the problem now will help to avoid higher amounts in the future. You will prevent the problem from becoming worse and therefore save money in the long term.
Saving money with carbon fiber crack repair 
If you’re looking for an affordable way to repair the cracks that will give you long term results, you should opt for carbon fiber crack repair. Carbon fiber is a sturdy material that is easy to install. It provides the foundation wall support and prevents further movement. It is ideal for use in walls that haven’t moved more than 2 inches.
If you want to save money on foundation repair by using carbon fiber, you should:
- Opt for professional installation
Don’t make the mistake of trying to install carbon fiber strips on your own. You’re likely to make mistakes while fixing it even after carefully reading the instructions or watching a video. Licensed professionals have training and years of experience behind them. They know how best to install the straps for maximum efficiency and long-term benefit.
- Have the cracks repaired ASAP
It is important to have foundation cracks repaired as soon as you notice them. Foundation cracks only get worse the longer you ignore them. Investing in crack repair early enough will save you money. You won’t have to pay for the extensive renovation of your wall when the damage becomes worse.
- Seek solutions for the underlying cause
While carbon fiber straps are a great solution to prevent further movement of the wall, it is still vital to resolve the underlying cause of motion. You will otherwise experience other forms of damage that may cost a lot more to repair. A foundation repair specialist can help you identify the causes of movement and offer solutions.
