Observe the transformation we achieved on a block foundation in Great Cacapon, WV. The homeowner faced stair-step cracks and a severe 2-inch wall deflection, posing potential risks to the structural integrity of the home. To address these concerns, we expertly installed the PowerBrace™ System. These zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fitted and securely anchored, effectively stabilizing the foundation walls. As showcased in the after photo, this method not only halted further inward wall movement but also promised potential improvement over time, ensuring a stable, safe, and healthy home environment.
In Oldtown, MD, a homeowner faced a troubling challenge with their basement—a bowing wall and stair-step cracks were allowing water to seep in. Notice in the photo how these issues could compromise the safety and health of their home. At Fortress Foundation Solutions, we are driven to create safe environments, so our team expertly installed the PowerBrace system to stabilize the wall and prevent further movement. Coupled with the WaterGuard drainage, CleanSpace liner, and TripleSafe sump pump, we've transformed their basement into a dry, stable, and secure space.
This customer called Fortress Foundation Solutions to get a quote for retaining wall support on a new rental property investment. The wall is located by the pool and was suffering from bowing and risked total wall failure. We went out to do an inspection and provided a quote to the customer, who decided to move forward with the work. Our crews installed our PowerBrace Wall Support solution to protect the walls from further bowing. This customer is happy to have the security of our products installed on his investment property.
In Timberville, John S. was dealing with a serious foundation issue in his basement after one wall developed significant inward bowing over time. The movement had become severe enough to impact the overall stability of the home, with clear signs of structural pressure and wall failure visible throughout the affected area.
Following a full inspection, Warren and his crew determined that the wall required a combination of stabilization systems to properly secure the structure. To stop further inward movement and reinforce the basement wall from inside the home, the team installed nine PowerBrace™ support beams across the affected area.
For additional stabilization in key sections of the wall, two GeoLock™ Wall Anchors were also installed to help counteract the pressure from the surrounding soil outside the foundation. Together, these systems provided the long-term support needed to stabilize the failing wall.
As shown in the after photo, the basement wall is now fully reinforced and structurally secure. John can now enjoy peace of mind knowing his home has reliable, long-term foundation support in place.
This customer called us to stabilize the main beam supporting her floor. We utilized our SmartJack system to ensure a lifetime of stability for her floors, and also performed a full encapsulation to transform this dark, dirty dugout basement into a clean, dry area!
