James, a homeowner in Woodstock, Virginia, had started moving things around in his basement when he noticed some concerning cracks hidden behind stored items. Since he didn't buy the house this way, he knew something had to be going on. He reached out to Fortress for a free evaluation, and our skilled System Designer, Danny, was sent to inspect the home.
Upon inspection, Danny found stair-step cracking on two separate foundation walls, indicating foundation settlement. After completing a thorough inspection, he confirmed his findings and proposed installing five interior push piers.
The push piers would stabilize the sinking corner of the home from the beginning of the settlement to the end. Push piers are an excellent solution because they use the weight of the structure to transfer the home's load to stable soil, permanently stabilizing the foundation.
After a proper installation, James now has a fully transferable lifetime warranty on his foundation repair - that's peace of mind for years to come.
