This house in Charlottesville suffered from bad cracks on the outside of the house. This was due to the house sinking and settling. Fortress solved this issue by installing several Helical Piers along the outside of the house to support and stabilize the foundation.
This homeowner in Charlottesville contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because the floors in their home were starting to sag. Fortress informed the customer that the support posts in their crawl space were cracking and bowing and their home was in serious need of our SmartJacks Crawl Space Stabilizer System. This system is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging floors. SmartJacks can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. Now this homeowner can rest easy knowing that their floors will be straight for many years to come!
This home has been in the family for over 35 years! System Designer, Chris Wilmouth, came out to meet with the home owners to hear their concerns and inspect their home to see how we could help provide a permanent solution for their home's foundation to ensure it continues to stay in the family for many generations to come.
Andre Luck (Lucky) and his crew completed the installation of 22 Smart Jack floor supports to ensure this would be brought back to its original location and provide this family with peace of mind knowing their home's foundation isn't going to fail overtime.
