Bowed Wall
Repair Kits
Patented Carbon Fiber Bowed Wall Repair System
The professional-grade solution for bowing, cracking, and leaning foundation walls. Engineered for contractors and engineers who need a fast, non-intrusive install. Works on poured and block (CMU) walls. Stronger than steel, non-corrosive, and maintenance-free.
Who Can't Afford Failure
The Rhino Carbon Fiber Bowed Wall Repair Kit gives contractors and structural engineers a faster, stronger, and more cost-effective alternative to wall anchors, steel beams, and excavation-based methods.
Every Bowed Wall
Built for residential foundation walls of all types. If it's bowing, cracking, or leaning, the Rhino Bowed Wall Repair Kit has it covered. Backed by ICC-ES certification for compliant and dependable structural repair.
- Cracking foundation walls
- Bowing foundation walls
- Leaning foundation walls
- Wall reinforcement & strengthening
- Concrete block foundations
- CMU basement walls
- Crawl space walls
- Block wall reinforcement
- Finished & unfinished basements
- Tight crawlspaces
- Below-grade retaining walls
- Walls with hydrostatic pressure
- Hydrostatic soil pressure
- Tree root intrusion
- Freeze-thaw cycle damage
- Poor original construction
- Stage 1 — initial cracking & soil expansion. Masonry step cracking (thermal movement) as an indicator
- Stage 2 — severe inward wall movement
- Stage 3 — wall beginning to shear
- Paired with dig & push for advanced cases
| Material | High-Modulus Carbon Fiber CFRP |
| Tensile Strength | Stronger Than Steel |
| Fiber Orientation | Unidirectional (Poured Walls) · Bidirectional (CMU) |
| Available Weights | 400 GSM · 560 GSM |
| Wall Types | Poured Concrete · Block (CMU) |
| Anchor Points | Bonds Carbon Fiber to the Frame (Top) and Foundation (Bottom) |
| Install Location | Interior |
| Install Time | Single Day |
| Finish | Smooth, Flat, Paintable |
| Applications | Residential |
| Corrosion | Non-Corrosive |
| Maintenance | Limited |
*Tensile strength of individual carbon fibers vs mild structural steel. Actual CFRP system performance is governed by composite action of carbon fiber and epoxy resin. Unidirectional carbon fiber is not appropriate for repairs requiring high anisotropic strength — Bidirectional CFRP is better suited for those applications.
We built the Rhino Bowed Wall Repair Kit to outperform wall anchors, steel beams, power beams, and dig-and-push methods on strength, speed, and lifetime cost. The numbers speak for themselves.
The Rhino Bowed Wall Repair Kit is designed for field crews. The install is fast, repeatable, and can be completed in a single day.
Prep & Grind
Lay plastic or drop cloth around the work surface. Measure and mark strap locations. Grind the vertical length of the foundation wall where the carbon fiber strap will be installed, removing paint, coatings, and gloss to achieve a bare foundation. Round top corners of block to a minimum ½ inch radius.
Repair Cracks
Repair all cracks using hydraulic cement or High Strength Anchoring Epoxy Paste before installing carbon fiber. Wall must be completely bare and clean with all cracks and deep mortar joints filled prior to applying carbon fiber.
Sill Plate Prep
Mark drill holes with a pencil or pen for the sill plate bracket. Ensure the bracket is level with the top of the foundation wall and centered over the strap location. Pre drill holes using a ¼ inch drill bit to ensure a secure connection between the carbon fiber, bracket, and sill plate.
Drill Footing
Using a hammer drill, pre drill a ¾ inch hole at the center of the prepped carbon fiber location. Drill as close to vertical as possible against the base of the wall. If the floor is sound, pinning to the floor is sufficient, if deteriorated, pin directly to the footer.
Attach Sill Plate
Lay carbon fiber on a piece of cardboard. Apply epoxy to the top 8 inches of the carbon fiber strap, spreading so it is fully saturated. Lay the bracket flush with the top of the carbon fiber, then roll bracket and carbon fiber twice to ensure the wrap is tight.
Mount
Mount the saturated carbon fiber wrapped sill plate bracket unit. Check for level and fasten the sill plate bracket to the sill plate using the supplied 3/8 inch by 2 inch lag bolts and washers.
Epoxy Wall
Roll carbon fiber up and rest on the sill plate ledge. Apply an even coat of epoxy to the wall over the entire area where the strap will meet the wall. Lay the carbon fiber strap over the epoxy, straight and tight, then work into the epoxy with a trowel, spatula, roller, or gloved hands. Apply a second layer of epoxy on top and lightly spread with a putty knife for an even finish.
Anchor
Secure the bottom of the carbon fiber strap to the footing. Fill the drilled hole with epoxy, fold and twist the bottom of the strap into a point to create a pin, then insert into the hole and top off with epoxy. Use light strokes with a putty knife to spread epoxy evenly along the edges. Ensure the strap is tightly adhered to the wall all the way to the floor.
