This home in Appomattox had foundation walls that were cracked, concerning the homeowner. They reached out to Fortress for a solution to stabilize and support their foundation.
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!

The 'after' photo demonstrates the stable and secure foundation achieved with CarbonArmor® straps and exclusive ArmorLock brackets, ensuring long-term durability for the homeowner.
