Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Home is where your family is, and your pets! For one poodle owner, that meant wanting to correct the bowing walls in her basement in Frostburg, MD. With the help of our System Designer, Dave, and installation crew, the perfect solution was curated. We installed GeoLock wall anchors and Power Braces to support the walls and prevent future bowing. Additionally, we waterproofed the basement with our Water Guard drainage system and SuperSump sump pump. It is important to us to give our customers, and their furry friends, a dry and stable basement!

Customers who want to maintain their property value know that eliminating the risk of water intrusion is a critical issue to address.  Our System Designer, Chris Guill, worked with this property owner to develop a solution that worked for this property.  Foreman, Travis Farmer, and his crew overcame every bearer to ensure this system was installed perfectly, leaving this customer beyond satisfied!

A homeowner in Bergton, VA was growing increasingly worried as one of their basement walls began to show serious signs of failure—deep horizontal cracks, bowing, and visible shifting. It was clear that the wall wasn’t just damaged; it was structurally compromised. They reached out to Fortress looking for a permanent solution that would truly restore strength and safety to their home.

After a detailed inspection, our System Designer determined that the damage had progressed beyond the point where standard reinforcement systems could help. We recommended our EverBrace™ Wall Repair System, designed specifically for severely failing foundation walls.

Our crew got to work by installing a series of steel corrugated panels directly against the damaged wall. These panels were anchored with heavy-duty I-beams and connected to the foundation slab and framing above, transferring the load of the home from the failing wall to the new support system. The EverBrace system essentially “rebuilds” the wall from the inside—without the need for a full tear-out or exterior excavation.

With EverBrace in place, the wall was fully stabilized and structurally sound once again. The homeowner no longer had to worry about collapse or worsening damage. The basement was safe, secure, and protected for the long haul. EverBrace gave this homeowner a peace-of-mind solution that restored both the strength and value of their home.

The sidewalk at this home in Amherst, Virginia was sinking and cracking, potentially becoming a trip hazard. Fortress used the PolyLevel Injection System to lift and level that sidewalk.

The crawl space of this home in Amherst was wet and musty, and really needed some help! 

Fortress went out and helped this homeowner by installing a complete CleanSpace encapsulation, along with our SilverGlo Wall Insulation, a SmartSump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. All of these products will work together to keep this crawl space clean and dry!
