Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Ray B. of Scottsville, VA reached out to Fortress about the horizontal crack in his basement wall. Looking to sell the home, he knew potential buys would walk away from a home with a compromised foundation! Fortress was able to respond quickly by sending out Zach Bullock, system designer, to provide a free estimate. Ray agreed and foreman, Warren Dickerson, was on the job installing the solution - PowerBraces. These steel I-beams are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. This system reinforces the wall stopping any further bowing. Now this Scottsville, VA home is ready to go on the market!

This home in Drakes Branch had a chimney that had started separating from the home. This can be the result of the home's foundation settling.

Fortress went out and installed 3 PushPiers. The PushPiers will not only prevent further separation of the chimney, but they will lift that area of the foundation back to its original position!

This home was suffering from very early stages of wall failure. Some minimal bowing was found and we installed our CarbonArmor Wall Support System to prevent any further movement. CarbonArmor is a great, cost effective choice, when walls are suffering from 2 inches or less of deflection. 

The foundation in this basement was bowing and had horizontal cracks along the walls. Fortress installed Carbon Armor straps along the wall to stabalize the foundation.

Jack J of Madison, VA had been living in His home for the past 30 years. Since moving in, the foundation had a small horizontal crack along the front-facing wall. Over the last 3 years, the crack had gotten worse and that wall had started to bow inward. Our system designer, Jamey Elder, recommended installing GeoLock earth anchors along the front-facing foundation wall and Jack agreed. Foreman Toby Bryant, and his crew installed 7 GeoLocks, securing this foundation wall and preventing any further damage.
