Before & After Photos

This home was suffering from severe wall bowing and stair step cracking. Fortress went out to inspect the issue and proposed our PowerBrace Wall Support System to permanently stabilize the walls.

This home in Wytheville, Virginia was settling. Fortress came and dug around the home to install 6 Push Piers that would stabilize and support the foundation.

In Cripple Creek, the homeowner faced concerns over inward shifting walls, threatening the integrity of their foundation. Notice in the before photo, the visible signs of bowing were becoming more pronounced over time, leading them to contact Fortress Foundation Solutions. We effectively addressed the problem using our GeoLock Wall Anchor System®, securing the walls by embedding heavy-duty steel earth anchors in stable soil and connecting them to steel wall plates. As shown in the after photo, this solution not only stabilized the wall but also restored confidence and property value.

This homeowner in Galax contacted Fortress with concerns about their home's foundation. Stair-step cracks is an indicator of foundation sinking and settling. System Designer, Chris Guill, went out for a full evaluation. He determined the home needed foundation repair. 

Our crew installed 10 Push Piers to lift and stabilize that foundation. Push Piers are installed next to the footings and attached with a heavy duty steel brackets. Soil is backfilled around the piers once stabilization and lifting is complete to finish the installation. 

This home in the Pulaski area received 13 push piers to completely stabilize the foundation. In this instance, all piers were installed from inside the basement.
