This home required Power Braces on two walls of their basement to keep the wall secure and stabilized.
Home Owner in Lexington Virginia called Fortress Foundation Solution in haste to get their Crawl Space waterproofed and encapsulated. System Designer, Brandon Conner, proposed our Triple Safe Sump Pump System. This will direct any water that was previously getting into the Crawl Space to the Sump Pump and than back outside. After the Sump Pump System is installed our Production Crew will complete the full Encapsulation Process. Encapsulating the Crawl Space will allow the home owners full access to the Crawl Space.
This customer was about to close on this home and needed an appointment quickly. We were able to accommodate their time frame and got our System Designer, Sonny, out to take a look at their problem. There was extensive cracking in their concrete slab throughout the basement, so Sonny created a custom solution for the issues they were facing. Later, using PloyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair, Foreman Tim and his crew were able to level out the concrete slab and seal the cracks. This solution will allow for the new owners to have peace of mind as they move into their new home and make it their own!
In the "before" photo, notice the considerable inward bowing of this homeowner's foundation wall in McHenry, WV, a clear sign of severe foundation issues. At Fortress Foundation Solutions, we provided a robust and long-lasting resolution with our PowerBrace system. In the "after" photo, see how the zinc-plated steel beams of PowerBrace offer exceptional stabilization, tightly secured against the deteriorating wall. Designed for lasting support, this system allows for tightening over time, reversing wall failure signs. This practical solution effectively safeguards the foundation, eliminating further inward movement.
