Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Afton contacted Fortress because the walls in their basement were cracking and starting to bow inwards. Fortress came up with a solution to assure the homeowner that their walls would not fail.

Fortress went out and installed our PowerBrace System. The PowerBraces permanently stabilize 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 unique, patented design allows the system to be tightened over time, potentially reversing wall failure without any invasive drilling or digging on the property. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing that their foundation is stabilized!

This homeowner not only had flooding issues, but also had several foundation issues. There were cracks and seperations in the walls and the walls had begun to bow. The Fortress Team solved these problems by installing a full perimeter WaterGuard with a SuperSump Plus System. To solve the foundation issues, we installed six PowerBraces and ten CarbonArmor systems that will prevent any future foundation cracks and settlement.

This home in South Boston, VA was experiencing bowing walls in their basement. They also had some issues with moisture getting into the area through that wall. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed our Geo Lock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize the walls, we also added our Clean Space liners to keep out any moisture or water vapor. 

This returning customer was experiencing uneven floors in her home, and also had a crack in the hallway wall. Several years ago, we installed a SmartJack System in her crawlspace, and since she had a positive experience working with us in the past, and trusted us again with her home for this project. After our System Designer, Troy King, went out to have a look at what the cause may be, he discovered that some of the original wooden joists in her crawlspace were now rotting, causing her floors to be uneven and walls to begin cracking. Troy created a custom solution for her crawlspace that would not only fix the rotting joists, but also keep her crawlspace dry for years to come! Later, Foreman Warren used pressure treated lumber for the full joists, and CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the space clean, dry, and pest free! Now her home is stable and dry for many years to come!

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.
