Before & After Photos

This home in Knoxville had foundation walls that were cracked and bowed, concerning the homeowner. They reached out to Fortress for a solution to stabilize and support their foundation.

Fortress went out and installed our PowerBrace System. The PowerBraces permanently stabilize your home's foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fit to your basement wall height and secured tight against your basement wall with brackets anchored to your basement floor and floor joists. PowerBrace's unique, patented design allows the system to be tightened over time, potentially reversing wall failure without any invasive drilling or digging on the property. Fortress also replaced the old ceiling insulation that was moldy with spray foam insulation. It is a better insulator and mold proof. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing that their foundation is stabilized and insulated!

This home in Gladys, VA had major crack going across the foundation wall in the basement. After calling Fortress Foundation Solutions, our System Designer was able to speak with the homeowners and provide them a solution using our PowerBrace System. 

PowerBraces are anchored to the wall and help to stabilize the wall from preventing further issues.   

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter WaterGuard french drain system, TripleSafe sump with external discharge, and installed GeoLock wall anchors for foundation stabilization. We were also able to use the GeoLock wall anchors to stabalize a retaining wall supporting the customer's driveway.

This homeowner called Fortress with bowing and cracking walls that were causing the basement to flood. There were water stains on the walls, and the basement smelled musty. Fortress was able to help this homeowner by installing Power braces to stabilize their foundation, and a Super Sump Plus system with a full perimeter WaterGuard, to ensure that the basement will not flood again.

The basement of this home in Ridgeway had walls that were cracking and bowing, and had an issue with water seeping in through the foundation. The homeowner reached out to Fortress for a solution to stabilize those foundation walls, and to keep their basement dry.

Our System Designer, Paul Heckman, went out to assess this home and recommended our PowerBrace System to support and stabilize those foundation walls. For the water intrusion issue, he recommended installing our WaterGuard XL system along the perimeter of the basement, along with SuperSump sump pump.

This homeowner can now rest assured knowing that their foundation is supported and dry!
