Tim E. of Bedford, VA, noticed stair step cracking in his basement, as well as, vertical cracks going up from the foundation of his home. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions to have the settlement checked out. After meeting with Zach Bullock, who provided a same-day estimate, Tim decided to have his foundation repaired. Foreman, David Bowers, was soon installing Push Piers. These steel piers are hydraulically driven under the foundation of the home, providing stabilization. Now Tim's foundation and home are permanently stabilized!

The basement of this home in Deerfield had foundation walls that were cracking and bowing. The homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to get those walls stabilized before it became a more severe problem.
The best solution for this home was to install GeoLock Channel Anchors. The Geolocks will permanently stabilize the foundation wall and in many cases can straighten the wall back to its original position. Heavy-duty earth anchors are embedded in stable soil away from the foundation wall, and are then connected to steel channel anchors with long, galvanized rods. Once tightened, the anchors will hold the wall securely in its current position without any further adjustment. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing their foundation is supported and stabilized!
