Before & After
Sterling, Virginia homeowner Joe reached out to Fortress while remodeling his basement after removing the finished walls and discovering significant cracks in his foundation walls. Before continuing with the project, he made the right decision to pause and call the local foundation experts at Fortress. We quickly scheduled a free inspection with one of our System Designers.
During the inspection, we found that the foundation wall had bowed inward more than two inches, leaving two effective repair options: PowerBrace™ steel beams, which stabilize the wall, or GeoLock® Wall Anchors, which take up less interior space while also providing the potential to pull the wall back toward its original position over time.
After reviewing both solutions, Joe chose the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System. Our crew got to work installing the anchors, permanently stabilizing the foundation wall and allowing Joe to move forward with his basement remodel with confidence.
