Foundation Repair Photo Album: Bowing Wall on Staircase repaired in Mount Airy, Maryland
In Mount Airy, Richard was dealing with a shifting section of exterior stairs leading down to his basement, as shown in the before photos. At Fortress Foundation Solutions, we identified soil pressure and movement that were affecting the stability of the stair structure. To address this issue, Toby and his crew installed 3 GeoLock™ Wall Anchors to stabilize and reinforce the affected area. As you can see in the after photos, these solutions helped secure the exterior stair section and restore stability to the basement entryway.
