Before & After Photos

This basement in Forest, Virginia had some foundation settlement issues. One of the cinderblock walls were bowing inward about an inch. Fortress came to the home and installed our Carbon Armor straps, which stabilize the home using fiber reinforced polymers that are 10 times stronger than steel. 

The basement of this home in Forest had foundation walls that were cracking and bowing. The homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to get those walls stabilized before it became a more severe problem.

The best solution for this home was to install GeoLock Channel Anchors. The Geolocks will permanently stabilize the foundation wall and in many cases can straighten the wall back to its original position. Heavy-duty earth anchors are embedded in stable soil away from the foundation wall, and are then connected to steel channel anchors with long, galvanized rods. Once tightened, the anchors will hold the wall securely in its current position without any further adjustment. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing their foundation is supported and stabilized!

This basement in Forest had cracking and bowing walls. This can be very dangerous because it is a sign that the foundation wall is failing. Fortress was able to solve this problem by installing CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to stabilize the foundation. Over time the CarbonArmor can be tightened to straighten the wall.

This homeowner has lived in this home for over 40 years and wants to remove the fear of falling through the floor one day.  Our System Designer, Chris Wilmouth, came out and put this homeowner to ease with our permanent solution using our Smart Jack System.  Foreman, Adam Mills and his crew went out to install 12 Smart Jacks to secure the floor in this home. 

The basement of this home in Glade Hill had cinder block foundation walls that had started to bow. The homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to get those walls stabilized before it became a more severe issue.

Our System Designer went out to assess this home and determined that the best solution would be to install the PowerBrace Wall Repair System. The PowerBrace System is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel i-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position and can be tightened over time to make bowing or tilting walls straighter. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing that their foundation walls are supported and stabilized!
