Challenge

This homeowner in Weyers Cave, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions with concern about water coming into the basement along with a wall that was beginning to bow inward. Our System Designer was able to go out to this home and provide a permanent solution.

Solution

Our Foreman,and his crew went to install the following products that were suggested by our System Designer. This solution included Power Braces. Power Braces help to support a weakened wall. This product prevents the wall from collapsing any further. Our crew also installed our Water Guard system. This system uses a sump pump to pump water out of the home through a discharge that is placed outside of the home. To insure no humidity and moisture was in the home.

In this photo you can see cracking along the wall. You can also see where the crew began digging a trench for the Water Guard.

In this photo you can see the final result. The Water Guard has been placed in the trench, adn covered with new cement. The Power Braces are also visible as well.
