He's had an engineer come out who recommended us. All brick ranch home has broken/sinking footing. Interested in push piers.
They had gaps in the walls and windows that would not operate.
We went out and were able to lift the house 2.5 inches which closed the gaps in the walls and now they are able to open and close
windows that weren't functional.
The homeonwers were very excited that they had us come out and do this work for them.
This basement is partially finished but being used as a rec room and office. Water was coming from many places. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter french drain system, CleanSpace wall, TripleSafe sump pump and battery backup with external discharge.
Mold was beginning to grow in the crawlspace because of moisture and flooding. Fortress installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation and replaced the old sump pump with a SmartSump System. Now the crawlspace will stay clean and dry.
The basement walls of this home in Concord were starting to bow inward. The homeowner reached out to Fortress very concerned, and wanted to get those walls stabilized.
Fortress went out and installed 6 PowerBraces to stabilize those walls and prevent further bowing. Over time the PowerBraces can be tightened to straighten out the walls.
This homeowner contacted Fortress with concerns that their home's foundation was settling. There was cracking and separating in the bricks and they wanted to get that stabilized.
Our System Designer, Scott LLewellyn, went out to assess this home and recommended that push piers be installed to lift and stabilize this foundation.
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. Soil is backfilled around the piers once stabilization and lifting is complete to finish the installation.
