Before & After Photos

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.

Our System Designer, Zach Bullock, went out to assess this home and determined that the best solution would be to install our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System.

This system includes flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing that their foundation is supported and stabilized!

This house in Lynch Station had a sinking porch. Thankfully the homeowners called Fortress before it was too late! Fortress installed Helical Piers underneath the porch to lift, support, and stabilize it. Now the homeowner can rest easy knowing their porch isn't going anywhere.
