Before & After Photos

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.

This home in Halifax, VA was having issues with the foundation wall bowing inward. There were major cracks throughout the wall. After calling Fortress Foundation Solution, our System Designer was able to come out to the home to provide an estimate for a permanent solution. Our Foreman and his crew went out to this home and installed our PowerBrace System. PowerBrace Supports help add stability to a wall that is failing.   

This Spotsylvania, VA homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had noticed the floors in their home had started to sag down a significant amount.

Our Senior System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to their home to do an inspection and noticed that the wood beams had started cracking, which was why their floors started to drop. Scott informed the homeowner that our SmartJacks System would be the best solution for them! 

Cole Mauck and his crew went out to their property and installed our SmartJacks System into their rawl space. This system is designed to lift and stabilize sagging floor joists in any crawl space!

Nathan R. was getting ready to purchase a home near Oakton, VA. The home inspector found some foundation damage around the chimney. Nathan wanted to have it checked before purchasing the home; so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. System Designer Santiago Garzon, our real estate expert, met with the potential home buyer. After an inspection, Santiago provided a free estimate for his recommendation - Push Piers. Push Piers are steel rods driven under the home's footer to provide stabilization and prevent further settlement. Nathan was then able to negotiate the price of the repair with the seller and purchase the home. After the closing, a Fortress crew completed the installation. Now Nathan can be confident knowing the foundation of his new home is secure!
