This basement in Forest, Virginia had some foundation settlement issues. One of the cinderblock walls were bowing inward about an inch. Fortress came to the home and installed our Carbon Armor straps, which stabilize the home using fiber reinforced polymers that are 10 times stronger than steel.
The basement of this home in Forest had foundation walls that were cracking and bowing. The homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to get those walls stabilized before it became a more severe problem.
The best solution for this home was to install GeoLock Channel Anchors. The Geolocks will permanently stabilize the foundation wall and in many cases can straighten the wall back to its original position. Heavy-duty earth anchors are embedded in stable soil away from the foundation wall, and are then connected to steel channel anchors with long, galvanized rods. Once tightened, the anchors will hold the wall securely in its current position without any further adjustment. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing their foundation is supported and stabilized!
This home was in need of extra support to fix the sagging floors that have developed overtime. Our System Designer, Danny Camunas, provided the homeowners with a simple solution that would put their worries at ease.
Foreman, Andre Luck (Lucky), and his crew completed this project of four Smart Jacks that will lift the floors in this home permanently.
This homeowner came to Fortress Foundation Solutions with several wall cracks inside and outside of their home from foundation settlement. Fortress solved this by installing five PushPiers that will support the foundation and prevent any further cracking.
This homeowner had a few large cracks in their basement as well as a flooding issue. Fortress Foundation permanently fixed the cracks by installing the FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair System. Then, Fortress installed a full perimeter WaterGuard with a TripleSafe Sump System to ensure that the basement would never flood again.
