How long do carbon fiber straps last once installed on a foundation wall?

Carbon fiber itself does not corrode, rot, or fatigue under static load, so the structural life of the strap is effectively permanent as long as the epoxy bond to the concrete remains intact. Quality two-part structural epoxies used for this application are rated for 75-plus years in dry, stable conditions.

The failure mode is almost never the carbon fiber. It is moisture intrusion behind the strap compromising the epoxy bond, which is why proper waterproofing is a companion service in most NJ installations.
