Before & After Photos

Bowing walls were the issue with this home in Lyndhurst, VA. The home owner called Fortress Foundation Solutions to see what could be done to fix this hassle. We installed our Carbon Armor straps which secure and stabilize the walls from any further movement. 

The walls on this basement were bowing and cracking. To stop this problem Fortress installed nine Carbon Armor straps, eight Power Braces, and six GeoLock Anchors. The foundation is now stabilized and will never have issues again.

This house in Rockingham had cracks on the outside and retaining walls because of foundation settlement. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed seven Push Piers along the outside of the house and retaining walls to completely stabalize the foundation.

The basement walls of this home in Concord were starting to bow inward. The homeowner reached out to Fortress very concerned, and wanted to get those walls stabilized.

Fortress went out and installed 6 PowerBraces to stabilize those walls and prevent further bowing. Over time the PowerBraces can be tightened to straighten out the walls.

This homeowner contacted Fortress with concerns that their home's foundation was settling. There was cracking and separating in the bricks and they wanted to get that stabilized.

Our System Designer, Scott LLewellyn, went out to assess this home and recommended that push piers be installed to lift and stabilize this foundation.

Push Piers feature a patent-pending external sleeve that strengthens the pier at the critical tension point below the bracket. They are installed next to the footings and attached with a heavy duty steel bracket. Soil is backfilled around the piers once stabilization and lifting is complete to finish the installation.
