Foundation Repair Photo Album: Bowing Wall Repair in Strasburg, Virginia
In Strasburg, Paul noticed a horizontal crack developing in one of his basement block walls, as shown in the before photos. Wanting to address the problem before it became more severe, he contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a professional repair. Because the wall movement was caught early, Travis and Jack were able to install 6 CarbonArmor® Wall Support Straps—a low-profile solution ideal for minor to moderate wall movement that can even be covered with drywall after installation. As shown in the after photos, the wall is now permanently reinforced and protected against further movement.
