Before & After Photos

This house in Lynchburg had a retaining wall that was cracking and bowing in toward the steps to the basement door. The homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions to see what could be done to prevent any further issues. A Fortress System Designer went to the home and assessed the issues. The System Designer decided that two GeoLock Wall Anchors were needed to secure the wall in place. Wall anchors work by extending from your wall to the stable, hard packed soil beyond your home. They anchor into these stronger soils and brace the foundation wall, preventing further movement. Wall anchors are installed with minimal disruption to your lawn, and they won't damage the interior of your basement or take up usable space. Now this wall is stable and will not continue to move!

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a series of PowerBraces to prevent further bowing in this customer's home. Over time, the braces can be tightened, and will eventually lead to a straightening of the affected wall.

This customer called Fortress Foundation Solutions with bowing walls and several cracks in their foundation and a few other offers from other companies. Fortress was able to offer this customer the best work for the best price. Fortress installed the CarbonArmor & ArmorLock Systems to ensure the wall would be permanently stabilized. 

This customer gave Fortress Foundation Solutios a call due to a bowing wall that was causing cracking. To solve this homeowners problem, the team here at Fortress was quick to give them a solution which was to install power braces. Power braces are designed to not only stabilize failing basement walls, but straighten them over time. 

This homeowner in Lynchburg, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had been receiving water in their basement through a crack in their wall, also causing the wall to bow inwards. 

Fortress recommended to the homeowner that we install our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System along with our Full Perimeter WaterGuard System and our SuperSump Plus Sump Pump. Our CarbonArmor System includes flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to ten times stronger in tension than steel. Using high strength epoxy resin, the carbon fiber straps are bonded to the interior face of the wall. WaterGuard is installed underneath the floor slab to catch any water that may come in and pushes it through to the sump pump. After our WaterGuard is installed, all the concrete is restored.
