Before & After Photos

A home in Crewe, VA was having settlement problems with the foundation. The floors were sinking, the doors were sticking, and the ceiling and walls were cracking. Fortress solved these problems by installing two Supplemental Beams and several SmartJacks in the crawl space. 

This homeowner in Crewe called Fortress because they had noticed that the floors in their home had started sagging. 

After explaining all the issues they were having over the phone, we sent one of our System Designers out to take a look! He recommended our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. This system provides solid support for undersized beams and restores stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. Fortress Foundation Solutions left this homeowner feeling much happier and safer in their own home!

Mary and John of Jessup, MD, noticed their basement walls bowing more and more. There was a horizontal crack at the top of the basement wall. They called the foundation experts - Fortress Foundation Solutions! A System Designer met with them and provided a free estimate to permanently stabilize the walls: our Carbon Armor System. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite preparing the basement walls by grinding down strips. Next, heavy epoxy was applied to the walls and the carbon straps attached. ArmorLock brackets bind and secure the CarbonArmor straps to floor joists making the CarbonArmor solution fast, non-invasive, and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls. These straps are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against the basement wall. Now Mary and John sleep better at night knowing their walls are stabilized!

This homeowner in Tomsbrook,VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions with concern about a wall that was beginning to bow inward. Our System Designer was able to go out to this home and provide a permanent solution. Our Foreman,and his crew went to install the following products that were suggested by our System Designer. This solution included Power Braces. Power Braces help to support a weakened wall. This product prevents the wall from collapsing any further. 

Sarah B. of Frederick, Maryland called Fortress Foundations with the concern of her bowing barn wall. The cracks along the wall were also a major concern for her. Skylar was quickly sent out to inspect the problem. He determined the solution was to install Power Braces to secure the wall and prevent further movement. Sarah B. was relieved to have a solution and be able to save her barn from falling in.
