In Oldtown, MD, a homeowner faced a troubling challenge with their basement—a bowing wall and stair-step cracks were allowing water to seep in. Notice in the photo how these issues could compromise the safety and health of their home. At Fortress Foundation Solutions, we are driven to create safe environments, so our team expertly installed the PowerBrace system to stabilize the wall and prevent further movement. Coupled with the WaterGuard drainage, CleanSpace liner, and TripleSafe sump pump, we've transformed their basement into a dry, stable, and secure space.
David H. noticed cracking on several of their basement walls. After calling Fortress Foundation Solutions, setting an appointment, and receiving an inspection and recommendation from one of our system designers, David chose to accept our proposal to fix their foundation issues for good! We turned to our PowerBrace system to stabilize their walls against further bowing. PowerBraces are a great option for stabilizing walls and we're so glad that we were able to utilize them for our clients!
Julia, a homeowner in Charlottesville, Virginia reached out to us at Fortress for repairs on a bowing block wall in her basement. Our team inspected the area and then installed 12 CarbonArmor Wall Support Straps to the affected area's. CarbonArmors are a great choice for minor wall movement and can be easily finished over.
Michael had started noticing signs of foundation settlement at his Charlottesville home, including cracks and doors that no longer closed properly. Recognizing that these issues could worsen over time, he contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a professional inspection. To permanently stabilize the foundation, Tyler and his crew installed 6 Push Piers along the exterior of the home. These piers transfer the weight of the structure to deeper, more stable soil, providing long-term support and helping prevent further settlement.
