Before & After Photos

In Upperville, VA, notice in the photo how the homeowner faced a foundation wall beginning to shear inward—a situation posed serious structural risks. Our team at Fortress Foundation Solutions resolved this problem by expertly installing GeoLock Channel Anchors. This solution not only prevents further wall movement, but also provides the capability to straighten the wall over time during dry seasons. As illustrated in the after photo, the stability and integrity of the foundation walls were effectively restored, reflecting our commitment to safeguarding both property value and peace of mind.

This customer called us to do repairs on their failing basement wall. The wall was crumbling and quickly loosing its structural integrity. System Designer, Eddie, went out and proposed the use of our EverBrace Wall Restoration System to fully stabilize the failing wall. Foreman Toby and his crew arrived and the job site and installed the system with no issues. 

This homeowner wanted to install new flooring in their Powhatan home, but had to address the sagging floors first. Part of their floor was being held up by a tree trunk! Chris Wilmouth, System Designer, came out to do a full inspection and provide a free estimate. Foreman, Warren Dickerson, who has lots of crawl space experience, came out with his crew to install Smart Jacks. These jacks provide stabilization for the floor joists to help sagging floors. Soon the floors were stabilized and ready to receive new flooring!

Joe W. of Powhatan, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing his floors sagging. System Designer, Zack Bullock, went out to meet with Joe, inspect the crawl space and provide a free estimate. Zach proposed Smart Jacks to lift the floor and an encapsulation to protect the floor joists from further moisture damage. Joe agreed! Foreman, Travis Farmer, was assigned to the job. He set the footers, installed the Smart Jack post under the beam, and lifted until the floor was stabilized. The final step was to install CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier sealing the house off from the damp ground below. Now when Joe walks across his kitchen he is confident knowing his floor is stable, his crawl space is clean & dry, eliminating future mold growth or floor sagging. 

This homeowner in Warrenton contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had some concerns about their foundation. There were several stair-step cracks on the outside walls of the house. 

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. Soil is backfilled around the piers once stabilization and lifting is complete to finish the installation.
