Very informative, crushed the like and subscribe buttons and looking forward to trying this on my cinder block detached garage that is having issues with cracks and leaks
If only one area of a wall has signs of distress (e.g. cracks), do carbon fiber straps have to be applied to the entire wall or only the affected area?
I have a Florida cinder block house with slab foundation. I have some minor cracks but only between some of the blocks so your tape will work well on both sides. The only thing a little serious is one corner has slipped a quarter of an inch. But no worries, both walls are very straight and not bowed. It's probably all through settling. I have to figure out what to do about it. I really don't think any thing extensive needs to be done.
40 year old cinder block exterior is experiencing flaking. Small to large portions falling off on west, north and east side of home. Southern exposed block is fine. Basement is dry with internal walls looking normal. What should we do?
Yes that is exactly right. It strengthens the wall in place but it will not improve the position of the wall. That is what makes it an ideal way to address a wall showing early signs of distress.

I learn a great deal from your useful simple explanation .

Thanks.
Thank you so much for your feedback, Magda! We will pass along the note on the music to our video editing team.

Hello, do you think this can be used for prevention even on a wall that shows no signs of weakness?

Can you use this on a freestanding exterior block wall? Would you have to apply tension to both sides ( I presume)?
Wouldn't long 3/16 x 3 plates, bolted to the wall at 16" spacing, work just as well and less expensive?
Where do we why this?
Carbon fiber does not push the back to plum.

Ok but you didn't answer the how to fix the problem !. Like tear off the interior walls and tape ? What ?
