A commercial property owner in Roanoke was dealing with a seriously compromised retaining wall supporting a parking lot. Over time, pressure from the soil behind the wall had caused noticeable movement and instability, creating concerns about the long-term safety and reliability of the structure above. With the retaining wall responsible for supporting a heavily used parking area, it was important to address the issue before the damage became more severe.
After evaluating the retaining wall, our team determined that permanent stabilization was needed to stop further movement and reinforce the structure. To secure the wall, we installed 14 GeoLock™ Wall Anchors along the affected section of the retaining wall.
GeoLock™ Wall Anchors are designed to stabilize failing walls by extending into stable soil beyond the pressure zone and permanently anchoring the structure in place. This system helped counteract the outside soil pressure while restoring strength and stability to the retaining wall supporting the parking lot.
This customer had built this home himself and felt super discouraged the patio was sinking down, he called Fortress Foundation Solutions determined to get it fixed! The Fortress Team sent our System Designer Paul to inspect the property. He discovered the patio had settled two inches from the foundation. Paul sent out our Poly Crew Mickey and Dom to use our PolyLevel Injection Foam to lift the settled patio and fill the gap between the patio and foundation.
This client called Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns about a sinking cement slab in her garage, so we sent out our System Designer, Brandon Conner, who did a thorough inspection and gave her an estimate for repair. After she accepted, our Poly Crew, Mickey Knight and Dominique "Dom" Wells, went out to complete the repair. They injected our PolyLevel Foam under the concrete, raising to be completely level. Our customer was very satisfied!
Genevieve’s crawl space in Ridgeway, Virginia was dealing with excess moisture, as shown in the before photo. The damp conditions created a real risk for mold growth and made the space less efficient overall.
To fix the problem, we encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace system to seal out moisture and create a cleaner, more controlled environment. We also installed SilverGlo insulation to help with temperature regulation and added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep humidity levels in check.
The after photo shows the difference—a dry, well-protected crawl space that’s healthier and more energy efficient.
In Goodview, Mr. Page was dealing with ongoing moisture and damp air in his crawl space. Even though the space was smaller in size, excess humidity beneath the home was creating concerns about air quality and the potential for future moisture-related problems.
To create a healthier and more controlled environment, Travis and Jack installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier throughout the crawl space to seal out ground moisture and help keep the area dry. A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was also installed to control humidity levels and improve air quality beneath the home.
As shown in the after photo, the crawl space is now cleaner, drier, and much better protected from future moisture issues. Mr. Page can now enjoy greater peace of mind knowing the area beneath his home has reliable, long-term moisture control in place.
