Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Clarksville, Maryland purchased a home that had previously undergone foundation repairs, as seen in the before photo. They lived in the home for 10 years before noticing that the foundation issues were continuing to worsen.

Concerned about the condition of their home, they contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a second opinion. After a thorough inspection, it became clear that the previous repair was only a temporary fix rather than a permanent solution.

System Designer Adam educated the homeowners on the cause of the problem and developed a customized, permanent solution for the bowing foundation wall. As seen in the after photo, the wall has been permanently stabilized and secured.

With a lifetime structural warranty in place, these Clarksville homeowners can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their foundation is protected for years to come.

This homeowner in Tomsbrook,VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions with concern about a wall that was beginning to bow inward. Our System Designer was able to go out to this home and provide a permanent solution. Our Foreman,and his crew went to install the following products that were suggested by our System Designer. This solution included Power Braces. Power Braces help to support a weakened wall. This product prevents the wall from collapsing any further. 

Sarah B. of Frederick, Maryland called Fortress Foundations with the concern of her bowing barn wall. The cracks along the wall were also a major concern for her. Skylar was quickly sent out to inspect the problem. He determined the solution was to install Power Braces to secure the wall and prevent further movement. Sarah B. was relieved to have a solution and be able to save her barn from falling in.

Renea was concerned about one of the basement walls in her Lynchburg home after noticing signs of cracking and movement. During our inspection, we found lateral wall movement and structural cracks that indicated the wall needed reinforcement to prevent further damage. To permanently stabilize the wall, our team installed the GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System. This proven solution helps counteract outside soil pressure and provides long-term support to prevent additional movement. As shown in the after photo, the basement wall is now reinforced and protected, giving Renea peace of mind that her home's foundation is secure.

In Marion, Kelly was dealing with serious structural issues both inside and outside the home. A basement wall had begun bowing inward due to pressure from the surrounding soil, while signs of foundation settlement were becoming increasingly noticeable around the exterior. Cracks, shifting, and structural movement throughout the home made it clear that immediate stabilization was necessary.

Following a full inspection, our team developed a comprehensive repair plan to address both the bowing wall and the settling foundation. Toby and his crew installed six PowerBrace™ beams along the basement wall to stabilize the structure and stop further inward movement.

To permanently support the settling foundation, the crew also installed nine Push Piers and six Helical Piers around the exterior of the home. These systems were designed to stabilize the foundation and help prevent additional settlement over time.

As shown in the after photos, the home is now fully reinforced and structurally secure. Kelly can now enjoy peace of mind knowing the foundation has been professionally stabilized with long-term support solutions in place.
