This customer came to us with a wall-to-wall horizontal crack and cracks between cinder blocks. Thankfully, there was no water. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a series of PowerBraces and CarbonArmor fiber strips. These two products offer the same protection, but are used depending on any obstructions of the wall.
This homeowner in Afton contacted Fortress because the walls in their basement were cracking and starting to bow inwards. Fortress came up with a solution to assure the homeowner that their walls would not fail.
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!
This crawlspace in Afton was leaking and moldy. The dirt floor was covered in a thin layer of plastic that did not stop water and mud from getting in. Fortress solved these problems by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation with a SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System to ensure that this crawlspace will stay clean and dry!

This homeowner not only had flooding issues, but also had several foundation issues. There were cracks and seperations in the walls and the walls had begun to bow. The Fortress Team solved these problems by installing a full perimeter WaterGuard with a SuperSump Plus System. To solve the foundation issues, we installed six PowerBraces and ten CarbonArmor systems that will prevent any future foundation cracks and settlement.
