We Straighten, Strengthen & Stabilize
To Make Your Basement Stronger Than Ever.

There are many, many signs that the basement walls of your Amarillo-area home could be bowing, bulging, or having foundation-related issues…

  • Cracks in the walls that are wider at the top than at the bottom
  • Floors that are not level
  • Doors, cabinets, and windows that do not shut properly
  • Cracking in the upstairs drywall
  • Cracking in exterior brickwork or caulking
  • Leaning of outside chimneys or porches

If these symptoms ARE the result of bowing or buckling basement walls (which our 27-Point Analysis can determine), it’s best to act immediately. Structural issues with your basement can lead to severe—and severely costly—foundation problems.

H-Beams

Our unique H-beams stabilize your basement and can actually strengthen your walls. Our H-beams are made of paintable high-grade steel to ensure maximum support while resisting rust. We custom-fit the H-beams to your basement walls and can continually tighten them over time to further improve the structural integrity of the wall.

We prefer installing H-beams over I-beams because of their sturdier build. H-beams are heavier than I-beams, more dimensionally square, and have a thicker center web. This can allow H-beams to take more force than an I-beam. (And wouldn’t you want THE strongest beams stabilizing your basement walls?)

Our H-beam installation requires no outside excavation and causes minimal disruption in your home. The H-beams themselves provide a clean and neat appearance, so your basement will look great after installation.

Carbon Fiber Amarillo TX

Carbon Fiber Sheets

Carbon fiber sheets are relatively new technology. They are a lightweight, maintenance-free material that adheres to your basement wall over cracks to strengthen the wall and permanently prevent more damage from occurring.

Carbon fiber sheets are scientifically proven to be stronger than steel, making them an excellent solution for basement stabilization. They can also be painted and take up much less space than other solutions like I-beams.

Bottom line: Carbon fiber sheets are a cost-effective, non-invasive, and proven way to strengthen and stabilize your basement walls.
