Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Charlottesville contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because the floors in their home were starting to sag. Fortress informed the customer that the support posts in their crawl space were cracking and bowing and their home was in serious need of our SmartJacks Crawl Space Stabilizer System. This system is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging floors. SmartJacks can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. Now this homeowner can rest easy knowing that their floors will be straight for many years to come!

This home has been in the family for over 35 years! System Designer, Chris Wilmouth, came out to meet with the home owners to hear their concerns and inspect their home to see how we could help provide a permanent solution for their home's foundation to ensure it continues to stay in the family for many generations to come. 

Andre Luck (Lucky) and his crew completed the installation of 22 Smart Jack floor supports to ensure this would be brought back to its original location and provide this family with peace of mind knowing their home's foundation isn't going to fail overtime. 

This basement in Charlottesville had a bowing wall with cracks that were allowing water to leak in. Fortress solved this issue by installing several CarbonArmor  Straps along the wall to stabilize the foundation.

This home in Charlottesville had several stair-step cracks along the outside walls of the house. These cracks were cause by the house sinking and settling. Fortress helped this family out by installing several Push Piers along the outside of the the house to support and stabilize the foundation. Fortress dug a trench around the house, installed the Push Piers, then covered them back up. Pier installations are great for many homeowners because they are not visible after the installation.

This homeowner in Charlottesville called Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had water intrusion in their crawl space, and the floors in their home had started to sag. 

After explaining all the issues they were having over the phone, we sent one of our System Designers, Scott Llewellyn, out to take a look. He recommended our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System, along with a SmartSump sump pump.

This system provides solid support for undersized beams and restores stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. The sump pump will work to keep the crawl space dry, preventing future water damage.
