Before & After Photos

This homeowner located in Nathalie, Virginia contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they were having a couple of different issues in their basement. One of the walls had started to bow inwards and they were also receiving water through the walls. 

Fortress recommended that we install our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System. powerBraces are the ideal way to stabilize failing foundation walls and can stop any further damage and potentially straighten the wall. This system is also easily adjustable, allowing for tightening of the brace to attempt to raise the wall back to its original position.

We also recommended our Full Perimeter WaterGuard System. Our WaterGuard System is installed underneath the floor slab, resting on top of your foundation footing. This system is installed with minimal invasion of the slab, and all concrete is restored after installation.

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed 10 PowerBraces to prevent further bowing in this customer's foundation walls. Over time, the braces are tightened, and will straighten the bowing wall. Fortress also installed WaterGuard with a SuperSump System to prevent the leaking tht the bowing wall was causing.

The basement of this home in Ringgold 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 GeoLock Wall Anchors. The GeoLock Anchors is designed to stabilize failing basement walls. These anchors will stabilize the wall in its current position and prevent any further cracking and bowing. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing that their foundation walls are supported and stabilized!

The basement of this home in Halifax had a problem with water intrusion, and also had some cracking and bowing in the cinder block walls. The homeowner reached out to Fortress for a solution on how to keep their basement dry, and also have those walls stabilized and supported.

Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to assess this home and determined that the best solution would be to install our WaterGuard XL System along the perimeter of the basement, along with a SuperSump sump pump. He also recommended we install 9 power braces to stabilize the walls and prevent further bowing.

Our WaterGuard System is designed to capture any wall or floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor, any water will then drain to the SuperSump and be pumped out of the home. The PowerBrace system permanently stabilizes 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 can be tightened over time, potentially reversing wall failure without any invasive drilling or digging on the property.
