This unfinished basement in Lynchburg, Virginia had some foundation issues occurring. The cinderblock walls were bowing due to settlement of the foundation. To permanently stabilize the home, Fortress installed our CarborArmor Wall Reinforcing System to the walls.
This house in Lynchburg had a retaining wall that was cracking and bowing in toward the steps to the basement door. The homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions to see what could be done to prevent any further issues. A Fortress System Designer went to the home and assessed the issues. The System Designer decided that two GeoLock Wall Anchors were needed to secure the wall in place. Wall anchors work by extending from your wall to the stable, hard packed soil beyond your home. They anchor into these stronger soils and brace the foundation wall, preventing further movement. Wall anchors are installed with minimal disruption to your lawn, and they won't damage the interior of your basement or take up usable space. Now this wall is stable and will not continue to move!
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a series of PowerBraces to prevent further bowing in this customer's home. Over time, the braces can be tightened, and will eventually lead to a straightening of the affected wall.
This customer called Fortress Foundation Solutions with bowing walls and several cracks in their foundation and a few other offers from other companies. Fortress was able to offer this customer the best work for the best price. Fortress installed the CarbonArmor & ArmorLock Systems to ensure the wall would be permanently stabilized.
This customer gave Fortress Foundation Solutios a call due to a bowing wall that was causing cracking. To solve this homeowners problem, the team here at Fortress was quick to give them a solution which was to install power braces. Power braces are designed to not only stabilize failing basement walls, but straighten them over time.
