Wirtz, VA Bowing Wall Repair

This home in Wirtz had foundation walls that had cracked and the homeowner was concerend about the walls bowing. They reached out to Fortress for a solution on how to stablize their foundation.

Our System Designer, Jamey Elder, went out to assess the home and determined that the best solution would be to install our GeoLock Wall Anchor System.

The GeoLock anchor system permanently stabilizes your foundation wall and, in many cases, can straighten your wall back toward its original position. Heavy-duty earth anchors are embedded in stable soil away from your foundation wall, and are then connected to steel anchors with long, galvanized rods. Once tightened, the anchors will hold the wall securely in its current position without any further adjustment. However, a unique benefit of the system includes the ability to tighten the anchors during dry seasons, meaning you can improve and even completely straighten your walls over time.
