In Huddleston, Ryan and Dawn were dealing with severely unstable basement walls that had begun to crumble and deteriorate after years of structural pressure and movement. The damage had progressed to the point where traditional wall reinforcement methods were no longer enough to properly stabilize the foundation. The before photo shows significant wall failure and structural instability throughout the basement.
Following a detailed inspection, Toby and his crew determined that the home required a more advanced stabilization solution. To permanently reinforce the failing walls, the team installed the EverBrace® Wall Restoration System—an engineered solution designed specifically for severely damaged or collapsing foundation walls.
Heavy-duty steel components were installed to stabilize the structure and safely transfer the load away from the failing walls without requiring a complete foundation replacement. As shown in the after photo, the basement walls are now fully reinforced and structurally secure.
What was once a major structural concern has been transformed into a stable, protected foundation system, giving Ryan and Dawn lasting peace of mind and long-term protection for their home.
This customer had severe inward bowing on her basement wall. After calling Fortress and having Danny, one of our System Designers out to her home, she moved forward with having our PowerBrace Wall Support System installed in her basement. The PowerBrace system is a great product that will permanently stop wall movement and in some cases, can move the wall back to its original position. This customer is happy to have the peace of mind that comes with the PowerBrace System!
Mr. Harris was dealing with severe structural issues in the crawl space beneath his Buena Vista home. Years of high humidity had caused significant rot in the wooden floor joists, weakening the floor system and compromising the home's structural support.
Warren and his crew completed repairs, including sistering 30 damaged joists, replacing a 30-foot section of the main beam, and installing 3 SmartJack® supports for additional stabilization. As shown in the after photo, the crawl space is now properly reinforced, providing the home with the strength and support needed for long-term stability.
Jeffrey contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a crawl space inspection after learning about the damage excess moisture and humidity can cause beneath a home. During our inspection, we found conditions that could lead to long-term moisture-related issues if left unaddressed.
To protect the home from the ground up, Travis, Jack, and Mickey installed our CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System. As shown in the after photos, the crawl space is now sealed and protected from excess moisture and humidity, creating a healthier environment beneath the home and helping prevent future damage.
