Before & After Photos

This homeowner came to Fortress Foundation Solutions with a bowing and cracking wall. To solve this issue, Fortress installed six Geo-Lock Anchors and straightened the wall. The wall will never bow and crack again.

Home is where your family is, and your pets! For one poodle owner, that meant wanting to correct the bowing walls in her basement in Frostburg, MD. With the help of our System Designer, Dave, and installation crew, the perfect solution was curated. We installed GeoLock wall anchors and Power Braces to support the walls and prevent future bowing. Additionally, we waterproofed the basement with our Water Guard drainage system and SuperSump sump pump. It is important to us to give our customers, and their furry friends, a dry and stable basement!

A homeowner in Bergton, VA was growing increasingly worried as one of their basement walls began to show serious signs of failure—deep horizontal cracks, bowing, and visible shifting. It was clear that the wall wasn’t just damaged; it was structurally compromised. They reached out to Fortress looking for a permanent solution that would truly restore strength and safety to their home.

After a detailed inspection, our System Designer determined that the damage had progressed beyond the point where standard reinforcement systems could help. We recommended our EverBrace™ Wall Repair System, designed specifically for severely failing foundation walls.

Our crew got to work by installing a series of steel corrugated panels directly against the damaged wall. These panels were anchored with heavy-duty I-beams and connected to the foundation slab and framing above, transferring the load of the home from the failing wall to the new support system. The EverBrace system essentially “rebuilds” the wall from the inside—without the need for a full tear-out or exterior excavation.

With EverBrace in place, the wall was fully stabilized and structurally sound once again. The homeowner no longer had to worry about collapse or worsening damage. The basement was safe, secure, and protected for the long haul. EverBrace gave this homeowner a peace-of-mind solution that restored both the strength and value of their home.

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed four SmartJacks under the back of an older home whose original supports were failing.

This house in Madison Heights suffered from bad vertical cracks on the outside of the house. This was due to the house sinking and settling. Fortress solved this issue by installing several Push Piers along the outside of the house to support and stabilize the foundation.
