Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

There were several large cracks running throughout the brick and concrete on this property. Fortress solved this by installing 5 Helical Piers around the house to support the foundation.

Fortress used FlexiSeal to repair this large vertical crack in the basement wall.

This homeowner in Lynchburg, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had been receiving water in their basement through a crack in their wall, also causing the wall to bow inwards. 

Fortress recommended to the homeowner that we install our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System along with our Full Perimeter WaterGuard System and our SuperSump Plus Sump Pump. Our CarbonArmor System includes flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to ten times stronger in tension than steel. Using high strength epoxy resin, the carbon fiber straps are bonded to the interior face of the wall. WaterGuard is installed underneath the floor slab to catch any water that may come in and pushes it through to the sump pump. After our WaterGuard is installed, all the concrete is restored.

This homeowner located in Lynchburg, VA contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had noticed their basement wall had developed a large horizontal crack, causing the wall to start bowing inwards.

Fortress solved their foundation problems by intstalling our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System. This system consists of steel beams that are secured at the joists above the wall with steel brackets. Our PowerBraces are easily adjustable, allowing us to tighten the brace to attempt to raise the wall back to it's original position. The great thing about this sytem is that there is no exterior excavation needed and it is quickly installed with minimal disruption to your basement!

This Lynchburg basement had a bowing and cracked wall that needed to be addressed. If left alone the wall could eventually fail and crumble leaving this family in great distress. Fortress helped this family by installing CarbonArmor Straps to stabilize the wall. These straps can be tightened over time to straighten the wall.
