In Manchester, a concerned homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions due to a failing basement wall, as shown in the before photo. The wall displayed visible signs of stress and instability. We expertly resolved this common foundation issue using our trusted PowerBrace system. As you see in the after photo, the wall is securely stabilized with custom-fit, zinc-plated steel beams. This solution eliminates further inward movement and restores the wall's integrity without the need for invasive procedures. Our expertise ensures lasting peace of mind and structural stability for homeowners facing similar challenges.
Mary and John of Jessup, MD, noticed their basement walls bowing more and more. There was a horizontal crack at the top of the basement wall. They called the foundation experts - Fortress Foundation Solutions! A System Designer met with them and provided a free estimate to permanently stabilize the walls: our Carbon Armor System. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite preparing the basement walls by grinding down strips. Next, heavy epoxy was applied to the walls and the carbon straps attached. ArmorLock brackets bind and secure the CarbonArmor straps to floor joists making the CarbonArmor solution fast, non-invasive, and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls. These straps are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against the basement wall. Now Mary and John sleep better at night knowing their walls are stabilized!
