Before & After Photos

This house in Kearneysville had bowing and cracking walls. The problems were cause by the house sinking and settling over time. Fortress came out to this home and recommended PowerBrace Supports inside the basement and Push Piers on the outside. The PowerBrace Supports can be adjusted over time to straighten overtime. After installing the PowerBrace Supports and Push Piers, the homeowner felt much more secure in their home!

This homeowner in Falling Waters, West Virginia was concerned with the stability of an exterior brick wall. They noticed the wall beginning to lean away from the dirt is was supporting, along with stair step cracking, which is a common symptom of settlement. Knowing Fortress Foundation Solution's expertise in this area, they called for a solution. Our system designer went out and gave them a free estimate and presented a plan to solve their issue. Our crew then went out and installed our GeoLock Wall Anchor System to stabilize and secure the wall and to prevent further movement! The homeowner was very happy that to se their wall stabilized and strengthened! These before and after photos show what Fortress Foundation Solutions is capable of!

A homeowner near Falling Waters, WV had been noticing several soft spots in her floor. She had a kitchen remodel a few years back and installed granite countertops, an island and a larger refrigerator. Now her floor was beginning to sag under the added weight. She reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our System Designer met with her, providing a free estimate for SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizers. These are an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. They not only provide supplemental support, but can often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. Now this homeowner can confidently walk in her kitchen without feeling like she will fall through the floor!

Sarah H. noticed the floors in her home had started to sag and become bouncy. Concerned, she called Fortress Foundation Solutions. A System Designer was happy to meet with her to address her concerns. Sagging floors are a common problem often indicating a serious structural problem that will worsen over time. These conditions can make floors unsafe, while also causing unsightly cracks in wallboard and beneath baseboard molding. The best way to permanently fix sagging floor problems is to install SmartJack XT posts beneath the beam that supports your floor joists. After hearing this, Sarah was ready to get the work done, and soon a Fortress crew was at her home installing the SmartJacks XT. Now Sarah and her family can enjoy their structurally safe house!
