Before & After Photos

The concrete slab that was holding this home up had a major crack in it that was effecting the stability of the home. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed Helical Piers to support the foundation and correct the cracking. 

In Crystal Hill, a homeowner faced significant issues due to a failing wall, compromising their foundation's integrity. The before photo emphasizes the severity of the pressure exerting unsightly and dangerous bulges. With our expert team on the job, we implemented the PowerBrace™ System. Notice in the after photo how the zinc-plated steel beams effectively stabilized the wall, reversing structural weakness without the need for invasive digging. This innovative solution not only addresses immediate concerns but ensures long-term security and stability, reinforcing the homeowner's peace of mind.

In Norwood, Virginia, we addressed a significant issue with bowing basement walls, as seen in the before photo. The homeowner contacted us to fix these failing walls, recognizing the threat they posed to the foundation's stability. We utilized our CarbonArmor® system, a non-invasive, permanent solution that stabilizes block foundation walls. With carbon fiber-reinforced polymers and ArmorLock brackets, our solution stopped the wall from leaning inward, offering durable protection. The after photo demonstrates the success of our intervention, ensuring the homeowner’s foundation remains secure and intact.

In Covesville, a homeowner faced a significant issue with a bowing basement wall that was at risk of further structural failure, as seen in the before photo. Using the PowerBrace™ System, we permanently stabilized the foundation wall without any invasive procedures. Zinc-plated steel beams were precisely installed from floor to ceiling, securely anchored to protect against further movement. Notice in the after photo, the wall is now stabilized and safeguarded long-term. The homeowner now benefits from a more secure and safe foundation, mitigating previous concerns about wall stability.

This home was built in the late 1980's.  It was experiencing sagging floors which resulted in cracking walls and other internal issues. We totally stabilized and corrected the problem with supplemental support in the form of Smart Jacks in the crawl space. Everything is nice and level now!
