Basement Foundation

We hired a guy to put carbon fiber straps on one of the basement walls that has had some bowing and cracks in the cinder blocks.

Is the product we had done. Supposedly it's so strong the cinder blocks will explode before the straps give out. It's stronger than bracing the walls with steal beams! Of course, it is a very expensive product, but it doesn't take too long to install so you save on labor. Here are pictures of the straps on the basement wall.
