Fortress Foundation Solutions is here to help you with all things basementy! This basement in Moneta, Virginia had a wall that was bowing out, which created a long vertical crack across the wall. These are the first two signs of wall failure and shouldn't be ignored. System Designer, Sonny Kingsbury, inspected the basement and sent Foreman, Clarence Copeland, and his production crew, K'nell Harris, Jalvis Payne, and Larry Dabney, out to install our Power Brace Wall Support System. These Power Braces stopped the wall from going to complete failure.
