Before & After

In Marion, Kelly was dealing with serious structural issues both inside and outside the home. A basement wall had begun bowing inward due to pressure from the surrounding soil, while signs of foundation settlement were becoming increasingly noticeable around the exterior. Cracks, shifting, and structural movement throughout the home made it clear that immediate stabilization was necessary.
Following a full inspection, our team developed a comprehensive repair plan to address both the bowing wall and the settling foundation. Toby and his crew installed six PowerBrace™ beams along the basement wall to stabilize the structure and stop further inward movement.
To permanently support the settling foundation, the crew also installed nine Push Piers and six Helical Piers around the exterior of the home. These systems were designed to stabilize the foundation and help prevent additional settlement over time.
As shown in the after photos, the home is now fully reinforced and structurally secure. Kelly can now enjoy peace of mind knowing the foundation has been professionally stabilized with long-term support solutions in place.
Notice in the before photo how the walls in this Hardy home were beginning to bow inward, compromising the structural integrity due to foundation issues. The homeowner contacted us to address this concern. We installed the innovative PowerBrace System to reinforce the failing walls. Our zinc-plated steel beams, custom-fitted to the basement's height, are tightly secured with stable anchors. This straightforward solution effectively stabilized the walls and provided permanent support without invasive procedures. Fortress Foundation Solutions ensured this Hardy residence’s foundation is reliable and secure.
In Crockett, a homeowner struggled with a foundation wall that showed significant inward movement. Notice in the before photo how troubling this issue was. Our professional team at Fortress Foundation Solutions expertly addressed this problem by installing the GeoLock Wall Anchor System®. As the after photo reveals, our solutions securely stabilized the wall with heavy-duty steel earth anchors connected to galvanized steel wall plates. Installed swiftly, often in just one day, these anchors not only restored stability but also brought peace of mind with their durable protection against further movement.
This home was suffering from severe wall bowing and stair step cracking. Fortress went out to inspect the issue and proposed our PowerBrace Wall Support System to permanently stabilize the walls.
This home in Wytheville, Virginia was settling. Fortress came and dug around the home to install 6 Push Piers that would stabilize and support the foundation.
