This basement in Lynchburg had a wall that was badly cracking and bowing due to the foundation settling. Fortress came out and installed 4 PowerBraces to permanently support and stabilize that wall.
This homeowner located in Lynchburg, VA contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had noticed their basement wall had developed a large horizontal crack, causing the wall to start bowing inwards.
Fortress solved their foundation problems by intstalling our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System. This system consists of steel beams that are secured at the joists above the wall with steel brackets. Our PowerBraces are easily adjustable, allowing us to tighten the brace to attempt to raise the wall back to it's original position. The great thing about this sytem is that there is no exterior excavation needed and it is quickly installed with minimal disruption to your basement!
