Kents Store, VA Push Pier Installation

This homeowner in Kents Store contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had some concerns about their foundation. Their cinderblock walls had several cracks and the walls were bowing in some places.

Fortress solved this problem by installing our Push Piers. 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. Concrete is used to fill the holes around the piers once stabilization and lifting is complete to finish the installation.
