This homeowner came to us with a bowing and cracking wall. Fortress installed ten GeoLock Wall Anchors to straighten and stabilize that wall. They will not have to worry about bowing or cracking again.
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.
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a series of GeoLock Wall Anchors to permanantely stabalize this customer's home.
The basement of this home in Glade Hill had cinder block foundation walls that had started to bow. The homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to get those walls stabilized before it became a more severe issue.
Our System Designer went out to assess this home and determined that the best solution would be to install the PowerBrace Wall Repair System. The PowerBrace System is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel i-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position and can be tightened over time to make bowing or tilting walls straighter. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing that their foundation walls are supported and stabilized!
