Before & After Photos

This homeowner wanted to install new flooring in their Powhatan home, but had to address the sagging floors first. Part of their floor was being held up by a tree trunk! Chris Wilmouth, System Designer, came out to do a full inspection and provide a free estimate. Foreman, Warren Dickerson, who has lots of crawl space experience, came out with his crew to install Smart Jacks. These jacks provide stabilization for the floor joists to help sagging floors. Soon the floors were stabilized and ready to receive new flooring!

Joe W. of Powhatan, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing his floors sagging. System Designer, Zack Bullock, went out to meet with Joe, inspect the crawl space and provide a free estimate. Zach proposed Smart Jacks to lift the floor and an encapsulation to protect the floor joists from further moisture damage. Joe agreed! Foreman, Travis Farmer, was assigned to the job. He set the footers, installed the Smart Jack post under the beam, and lifted until the floor was stabilized. The final step was to install CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier sealing the house off from the damp ground below. Now when Joe walks across his kitchen he is confident knowing his floor is stable, his crawl space is clean & dry, eliminating future mold growth or floor sagging. 

A homeowner had noticed several soft spots in her floor. She had a kitchen remodel a few years back and installed granite countertops, an island and a larger refrigerator. Now her floor was beginning to sag under the added weight. She reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our System Designer met with her, providing a free estimate for SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizers. These are an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. They not only provide supplemental support, but can often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. Now this homeowner can confidently walk in her kitchen without feeling like she will fall through the floor!

This home in Drakes Branch had a chimney that had started separating from the home. This can be the result of the home's foundation settling.

Fortress went out and installed 3 PushPiers. The PushPiers will not only prevent further separation of the chimney, but they will lift that area of the foundation back to its original position!

This homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had noticed their wall in their basement starting to bow inwards. Fortress wanted to give this homeowner piece of mind by giving them a permanent solution to make sure their basement wall would not get any worse. 

Fortress installed our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to assure this homeowner his wall would no longer bow inwards. These flexible carbon fiber fabric straps are up to ten times stronger then steel. This system requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing.

Fortress Foundation Solutions left this homeowner with a better piece of mind then when they first bought the home!
