The foundation walls of this home in Broad Run were starting to bow. The homeowner reached out to Fortress for a permanent solution for stabilizing those walls.
Our System Designer, Zach Bullock, went out to assess the home and recommended our PowerBrace System to support and stabilize the foundation.
The PowerBrace system permanently stabilizes your home's foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fit to your basement wall height and secured tight against your basement wall with brackets anchored to your basement floor and floor joists. PowerBrace's unique, patented design allows the system to be tightened over time, potentially reversing wall failure without any invasive drilling or digging on the property.

A customer near Rohrersville, MD had a horizontal crack all the way around their basement. They learned about Fortress Foundation Solutions on a TV commercial and decided to call the All Things Basementy company for a free estimate. Danny Camunas, System Designer, completed a thorough inspection offering a permanent solution. Wanting to protect their home, they agreed. Soon David Bowers and his crew were onsite installing our PowerBrace™ system, consisting of steel I beams secured to joists above the wall with steel brackets. It can stop further damage and potentially straighten walls. The after photo shows the PowerBraces in place providing the stabilization this foundation needed. Now the homeowners can rest assured, knowing their home is protected!
Matt, a homeowner in Gainesville, Virginia, had started noticing signs of water coming from behind his insulated but unfinished concrete basement walls. After pulling the insulation back, he discovered dampness along with a thin vertical crack in the corner of the concrete wall, as seen in the before photo.
He reached out on social media looking for recommendations and came across Fortress Foundation Solutions. We sent out Danny, one of our experienced system designers, to complete a thorough evaluation. After inspecting the issue, Danny knew exactly what solution the home needed - a FlexiSpan wall crack repair system.
FlexiSpan is a flexible crack repair system as seen in the after photo designed to seal leaking wall cracks while still allowing for natural wall movement over time. The system is tied into a small section of WaterGuard drainage installed above the footer beneath the floor, allowing any future water seepage to safely drain away instead of entering the basement.
