Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This homeowner located in Lynchburg, VA contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had noticed their basement wall had developed a large horizontal crack, causing the wall to start bowing inwards.

Fortress solved their foundation problems by intstalling our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System. This system consists of steel beams that are secured at the joists above the wall with steel brackets. Our PowerBraces are easily adjustable, allowing us to tighten the brace to attempt to raise the wall back to it's original position. The great thing about this sytem is that there is no exterior excavation needed and it is quickly installed with minimal disruption to your basement!

This homeowner in Lynchburg, VA contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions not only because we are located in Lynchburg, but because we are the best in the business! This homeowner had been receiving water in their basement for quite some time and finally had enough. Fortress recommended that we install our Full Perimeter WaterGuard System along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump.

This sump pump provides three levels of protection for your basement. Our TripleSafe has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller ⅓ hp sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. In case of a power outage, our UltraSump battery backup sump pump, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery!

There were several large cracks running throughout the brick and concrete on this property. Fortress solved this by installing 5 Helical Piers around the house to support the foundation.

Fortress used FlexiSeal to repair this large vertical crack in the basement wall.

This Lynchburg basement had a bowing and cracked wall that needed to be addressed. If left alone the wall could eventually fail and crumble leaving this family in great distress. Fortress helped this family by installing CarbonArmor Straps to stabilize the wall. These straps can be tightened over time to straighten the wall.
