She has not seen any sign of water entering her home but wants to be proactive by installing a waterproofing system. We worked with her to address the bowing wall concerns first. System Designer, Sonny Kingsbury, worked with the homeowner on a plan to address each of her concerns on a time line that worked with her budget.
Our Foreman, Matt Burger, and his crew came in and completed the installation of six Power Brace wall supports to ensure this wall would be at risk of failing. The homeowner was very pleased!

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed our Smart Jacks to support and level the floors above and keep them in one position.

This homeowner in Kents Store contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had some concerns about their foundation. Their cinderblock walls had several cracks and the walls were bowing in some places.
Fortress solved this problem by installing our Push Piers. Push Piers feature a patent-pending external sleeve that strengthens the pier at the critical tension point below the bracket. They are installed next to the footings and attached with a heavy duty steel bracket. Concrete is used to fill the holes around the piers once stabilization and lifting is complete to finish the installation.
