Lydia F. of Hume, VA, called Fortress Foundation Solutions. She needed better access to her crawl space and wanted a free estimate for a new door. After completing his inspection, System Designer Paul Heckman provided a proposal for a heck-of-a-deal! Lydia was surprised to find that Fortress could remove part of the wall under a window and install a new door. The EverLast™ crawl space doors from Basement Systems are made from ½-in.-thick PVC plastic and are practically indestructible. Unlike wooden doors, EverLast™ doors will never warp, crack, shrink or require maintenance or painting. Heavy-duty weatherstripping provides an air and water tight seal. Once the installation knobs are tightened, the interior of your crawl space is fully isolated from exterior critters and conditions. Now Lydia can easily get into her crawl space and is confident it is well protected.

Job Stories From Hume, VA
Bowing Wall Repair in Hume, Virginia

In Virginia, a homeowner began noticing troubling signs in their basement, including bowing foundation walls and horizontal cracking along the masonry. These issues raised serious concerns about the structural stability of the home and the potential for costly damage if left unaddressed. Wanting expert guidance, they contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled a full inspection, and our System Design Specialist performed a detailed structural evaluation, confirming that outside soil pressure was pushing the foundation walls inward.

 

To stabilize the home and prevent further movement, we designed a permanent solution using the PowerBrace wall support system. Our production team installed steel PowerBraces from floor to joist, anchoring them securely to both the basement floor and the framing above. These high-strength beams are engineered to stop wall movement immediately and can be adjusted over time to gradually restore the wall toward its original position.

 

The installation process was efficient and minimally invasive, allowing the homeowner to keep their basement space largely intact while the structural reinforcement was completed. Once installed, the PowerBraces provided immediate stabilization, relieving pressure on the foundation walls and preventing any further inward movement.

With the foundation now reinforced, the homeowner gained renewed confidence in the safety and integrity of their home. The basement is once again secure, and future structural damage has been effectively prevented.

 

Thanks to Fortress Foundation Solutions and the PowerBrace system, the homeowner now enjoys lasting peace of mind knowing their foundation is properly supported and protected.

 

Sheering In This Block Wall Near Hume, VA

Will S. lives near Hume, VA. He noticed major shifting of an exterior block wall and grew concerned. Calling Fortress Foundation Solutions, he set an appointment with System Designer Caleb Stone to take a look. Caleb carefully surveyed and measured. He found what we call sheering in the block wall. The top rows of block had been pushed by the earth 2.5" over the bottom row! Left untreated, this will lead to a wall collapse. Will wanted to avoid this costly problem and made the choice to repair it. A specially trained foundation crew was soon onsite installing GeoLock Earth Anchors. These are long steel anchors installed underground with plates that brace the wall and keep it from further sheering. Now Will's wall is stabilized and will continue to function as intended.
