Concrete Floor Crack Repair Using Carbon Fiber

Are foundation problems causing cracks in your floor? Whether they are caused by foundation heave or settlement, by utilizing the incredible strengthening properties of Glass, Kevlar, and Carbon Composites, we can provide a cost effective foundation repair solution for your concrete cracks.

Carbon fiber has been used in everything from the Space Shuttle to the Boeing 777 Dreamliners. These materials have made their way in to mainstream construction and are creating numerous benefits.

Floor Crack Stitching

By utilizing pre-cured carbon fiber stitching systems used to bridge shear forces, we can solve cracks in floor slabs. The systems are installed at a fraction of the cost of traditional steel dowels and with less heavy equipment and disruption to the homeowner. 

Arizona Foundation Solutions of Tucson has become certified applicators for HJ3 Composites and is the preferred applicator for the Greater Tucson & Statewide Region of Arizona. HJ3 is one of the world leading authorities on the use of these materials in the construction environment.

We cut stitches into your cracked concrete, drop carbon fiber laminates into the cuts and adhere with low viscosity polyurea. This system is stronger, faster and more cost effective than the more traditional embedment of rebar dowels into the concrete. Crack Stitching is a reliable way to repair concrete cracks running along your floor

The following is an illustration of the stitching process.
