Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This customer noticed significant settling of their bay window on the front of their home. After calling Fortress Foundation Solutions, setting an appointment, and receiving an inspection and recommendation from one of our system designers, they chose to accept our proposal to fix their settlement issues for good! We turned to our Helical Pier system to stabilize and restore the position of their foundation! Helical piers are a great option for stabilizing foundations or other masonry elements and we're so glad that we were able to utilize them for these clients!

At Fortress Foundation Solutions, we take pride in helping homeowners protect their properties from structural damage. Recently, a customer reached out to us with concerns about a leaning retaining wall at their home. Over time, soil pressure and environmental factors had caused the wall to shift, posing a risk to both the property and safety.

Understanding the urgency of the situation, we sent System Designer Riley to assess the damage. During the inspection, Riley carefully examined the wall’s condition and identified the best solution to restore its stability. After a thorough evaluation, he provided the homeowner with a detailed quote and repair plan to address the issue effectively.

To correct the leaning wall and prevent further movement, our team installed GeoLock wall anchors—a proven system designed to straighten and stabilize foundation walls over time. These heavy-duty anchors provide long-term support by counteracting the external pressure that caused the wall to shift in the first place.

After installing the GeoLock anchors, the retaining wall was significantly reinforced, restoring both its functionality and structural integrity. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing their property is protected from further damage.

This homeowner near Woodbine, Maryland was experiencing issues with sagging floors. They noticed a crack in the wall by their bedroom door frame, which is a common symptom of settlement. Knowing Fortress Foundation Solution's expertise in this area, they called for a solution. Our system designer went out and gave them a free estimate and presented a plan to solve their issue. Our crew then went out and installed SmartJacks to stabilize and lift the floors back to their original position. The floor was stabilized and lifted, and even closed the crack! The homeowner was very happy that their floor was returned to its original position and strength! These before and after photos show what Fortress Foundation Solutions is capable of!

This home owner called our office to see if we could help preserve "the bones" of their 1875 Victorian farmhouse. Our expert system designer, Skylar, was sent to do a complete and free evaluation.

Skylar quickly helped find a solution and our superintendent Nick took a few crews over to the property to "forever" brace the foundation with our EverBrace wall restoration system. The home owner can now continue the renovations knowing the foundation is secure for many, many more years to come!

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!
