Before & After Photos

This homeowner contacted Fortress Foundatin Solutions because they had some concerns about their foundation. There was a huge crack running along the floor in there home and it looked like one side had started to sink down. 

Fortress solved this problem by installing our Push Piers. Push Piers feature a patent-pending external sleeve that strengthens the pier at the critical tension point below the bracket. They are installed next to the footings and attached with a heavy duty steel bracket. Soil is backfilled around the piers once stabilization and lifting is complete to finish the installation. 

This homeowner located in Charlottesville, VA contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they were receiving water in their crawl space, causing their floor joists to rot. The floors in their home had started to sag, so Fortress recommended that we install our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier along with our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. 

SmartJacks provide solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. Our crawl space repair system will ensure that your home has a stable crawl space that won't sink or sag.

This home in Charlottesville had walls that were bowing, concerning the homeowner. They reached out to Fortress for a permanent solution on stabilizing those walls.

Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to assess this home and recommended installing our GeoLock Wall Anchor System.

The GeoLock anchor system permanently stabilizes your foundation wall and, in many cases, can straighten your wall back toward its original position. Heavy-duty earth anchors are embedded in stable soil away from your foundation wall, and are then connected to steel anchors with long, galvanized rods. Once tightened, the anchors will hold the wall securely in its current position without any further adjustment.

This homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they noticed that the floors in their home started sagging and there was a musty smell circulating throughout their home. Fortress went out to inspect the issues that they were having and informed the homeowner that their crawl space had been receiving water, which was causing the musty smell, and the floors had started sagging because the wood beams in their crawl space had started to rot. Fortress installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier along with our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. Our SmartJacks provide solid support for sagging and undersized beams. 

This basement in Lynch Station 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 Straps to stabilize the foundation. Over time these straps can be tightened to straighten the wall.
