Before & After Photos

The chimney of this home in Earlysville had started to pull away from the home due to settlement of the foundation. The homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to get that area of their home supported and stabilized.

Fortress went out and installed 3 Helical Piers to not only stabilize that chimney, but also lift it back to it's original position! Once installed the area will be backfilled and the piers will not be visible. 

This home in Toms Brook 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!

In Cullen, a homeowner contacted us to address a tilting foundation wall endangering structural integrity. As seen in the "before" photo, the compromised wall required immediate attention. Our team expertly implemented the PowerBrace System to stabilize the foundation effectively. In the "after" photo, you’ll observe the visibly restored stability achieved by the state-of-the-art zinc-plated steel beams, which fit seamlessly, providing robust lateral support. This advanced solution is engineered to safeguard against further inward movement, ensuring long-term safety and structural soundness, showcasing Fortress Foundation Solutions’ commitment to excellence.

This homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had noticed their basement walls had started bowing inwards. Fortress went out to assess the issues this homeowner was having and reommended that they have us install our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System.

The greast thing about this system is that after the installation, you are still able to potentially finish your basement!
