Ray B. of Scottsville, VA reached out to Fortress about the horizontal crack in his basement wall. Looking to sell the home, he knew potential buys would walk away from a home with a compromised foundation! Fortress was able to respond quickly by sending out Zach Bullock, system designer, to provide a free estimate. Ray agreed and foreman, Warren Dickerson, was on the job installing the solution - PowerBraces. These steel I-beams are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. This system reinforces the wall stopping any further bowing. Now this Scottsville, VA home is ready to go on the market!

This foam lifts and levels concrete quickly and Mary was ready! Foreman, Tim Gregorin and his crew fixed Mary's sidewalk. Now it is level and ready for this home to bring top dollar!
