At Fortress Foundation Solutions, we take pride in helping homeowners protect their properties from structural damage. Recently, a customer reached out to us with concerns about a leaning retaining wall at their home. Over time, soil pressure and environmental factors had caused the wall to shift, posing a risk to both the property and safety.
Understanding the urgency of the situation, we sent System Designer Riley to assess the damage. During the inspection, Riley carefully examined the wall’s condition and identified the best solution to restore its stability. After a thorough evaluation, he provided the homeowner with a detailed quote and repair plan to address the issue effectively.
To correct the leaning wall and prevent further movement, our team installed GeoLock wall anchors—a proven system designed to straighten and stabilize foundation walls over time. These heavy-duty anchors provide long-term support by counteracting the external pressure that caused the wall to shift in the first place.
After installing the GeoLock anchors, the retaining wall was significantly reinforced, restoring both its functionality and structural integrity. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing their property is protected from further damage.
Notice in the before photo, the alarming gap between the home and chimney in Chantilly, VA - a clear sign of foundational troubles. Thanks to our expert team, including Kurtis, Santiago, Tyler, Rony, and Rony Jr., we seamlessly bridged this gap, as seen in the after photo. By employing Push Piers, we ensured a robust foundation repair, reinstating the home’s structural integrity and providing the homeowner peace of mind with a lasting solution.
We love seeing clean, dry crawl spaces! This particular homeowner, whose crawl space was already encapsulated, noticed a musty smell coming from his crawl space, and when our System Designer, Paul Heckman, went down there, he found that water was seeping into the crawl space through the insulated walls, and designed a solution. Our Foreman, Charlie Evans, and his crew went in and removed some of the old insulation, and replaced it with our own SilverGlo Insulation. They lined the crawl space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and installed one of our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to ensure that our client's home stays clean and dry! No more musty smells for this homeowner!
At a recent home show in Libertytown, MD, a homeowner shared concerns about sagging floors, launching us into action. As you can see in the before photo, their crawl space was in desperate need of care. Our team swept in with CleanSpace to seal and protect the area, SilverGlo insulation to keep temperatures steady, SaniDry Sedona for powerful dehumidification, and SmartJack for strong, secure floor support. The transformation, evident in the after photo, underscores our dedication to bringing peace of mind and reliability back into our customers' homes.
This home owner called our Fortress Team needing extra support in their crawl space. This home was a rental property of theirs and they wanted it taken care of correctly! Our System Designer Dave created the solution to install eight of our Smart Jack Support Beam Systems to create the floor support needed. Dave also installed our Clean Space Vapor Barrier System to ensure the crawl space would remain dry. This gave the home owners the peace of mind they needed to rent this home out!
