Foundation Repair Photo Album: Major Foundation Repair in Salem, Virginia
In Salem, Dennis was dealing with serious foundation problems, including settlement along the front of his home and a large horizontal crack in a basement wall that had begun to bow inward, as shown in the before photos. At Fortress Foundation Solutions, we identified both foundation settlement and wall instability that required extensive structural reinforcement. To address these issues, Toby and his crew installed 6 Helical Piers to stabilize the settling foundation, along with 16 GeoLock™ Wall Anchors and 7 PowerBrace™ Wall Support Beams to reinforce and stabilize the bowing basement walls. As you can see in the after photos, these solutions restored structural stability to the home and provided long-term protection against further settlement and wall movement.
