Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Kents Store contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had some concerns about their foundation. Their cinderblock walls had several cracks and the walls were bowing in some places.

Fortress solved this problem by installing our Push Piers. Push Piers feature a patent-pending external sleeve that strengthens the pier at the critical tension point below the bracket. They are installed next to the footings and attached with a heavy duty steel bracket. Concrete is used to fill the holes around the piers once stabilization and lifting is complete to finish the installation. 

A church in Boydton contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing signs of movement in the basement walls of its fellowship hall. During our inspection, we found a section of wall with concerning inward movement that needed to be stabilized before the problem became more severe.

Tyler and his crew installed 9 GeoLock™ Wall Anchors along the affected wall to provide permanent reinforcement and stop further movement. As shown in the after photos, the wall is now stabilized and properly supported, giving the church confidence that its fellowship hall foundation is protected for the long term.

This house in Kearneysville had bowing and cracking walls. The problems were cause by the house sinking and settling over time. Fortress came out to this home and recommended PowerBrace Supports inside the basement and Push Piers on the outside. The PowerBrace Supports can be adjusted over time to straighten overtime. After installing the PowerBrace Supports and Push Piers, the homeowner felt much more secure in their home!
