Stable stoop in Glengary, WV
Challenge
In Glengary, WV, a new homeowner faced a concerning structural issue shortly after purchasing their property—a cracked concrete porch was visibly pulling away from the house. Previous foundation assessments had left the homeowner uncertain and anxious about the stability and safety of their investment. Seeking a definitive resolution, they contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for expert guidance.
Solution
A thorough evaluation by our System Designer revealed that foundation settlement was the root cause of the problem. To address this, we recommended the installation of our Helical Pier System—a proven method for stabilizing and restoring structural integrity.
Our skilled production team carried out the installation with precision. 5 Helical piers were driven deep into load-bearing soil to bypass the unstable upper layers. Steel brackets were then secured to transfer the weight of the porch onto the piers, effectively stabilizing and lifting it toward its original position.
