Foundation Settlement and Bowing Wall Repair in Fishersville, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Fishersville, Virginia was facing two major foundation concerns at the same time. Sections of the home were showing signs of foundation settlement, while one basement wall had begun to bow inward under pressure from the surrounding soil.
Knowing these issues would only worsen over time, the homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a permanent repair that would address both problems.
Solution
To stop the foundation from settling further, the team installed 3 Helical Piers beneath the affected area of the home, transferring the weight of the structure to stable soil below. They then reinforced the bowing basement wall with 3 GeoLock® Wall Anchors, providing long-term support and preventing additional inward movement.
With both repairs complete, the home's foundation and basement wall were fully stabilized. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing the structural issues have been properly addressed with solutions designed to protect the home for years to come.
