Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This house in Lynch Station had a sinking porch. Thankfully the homeowners called Fortress before it was too late! Fortress installed Helical Piers underneath the porch to lift, support, and stabilize it. Now the homeowner can rest easy knowing their porch isn't going anywhere.

Sarah H. noticed the floors in her home had started to sag and become bouncy. Concerned, she called Fortress Foundation Solutions. A System Designer was happy to meet with her to address her concerns. Sagging floors are a common problem often indicating a serious structural problem that will worsen over time. These conditions can make floors unsafe, while also causing unsightly cracks in wallboard and beneath baseboard molding. The best way to permanently fix sagging floor problems is to install SmartJack XT posts beneath the beam that supports your floor joists. After hearing this, Sarah was ready to get the work done, and soon a Fortress crew was at her home installing the SmartJacks XT. Now Sarah and her family can enjoy their structurally safe house! 

In Castleton, VA, we tackled a homeowner's challenge with a severely deflected wall. The bowing wall is clearly visible in the photo. They called Fortress Foundation Solutions to request a free consultation. System Designer Danny Camunas went out to perform an inspection. In his free estimate, he recommended our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. This state-of-the-art solution for bowing and cracking foundation walls incorporates the same technology the Army Corps of Engineers uses to reinforce bomb shelters, skyscrapers and bridges. The CarbonArmor System includes flexible carbon fiber straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. Using high strength epoxy, the straps are bonded to the interior face of the basement wall. This system installs quickly inside, requires no outside excavation and won't impact future basement finishing. Now this homeowner can feel secure knowing their basement walls will not bow any more!

This customer in Aroda came to us with cracks in the brick and mortar of their foundation. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed 6 push piers to permanently stabilize the foundation and prevent any future settlement. 

This homeowner in Collinsville, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns regarding the crawl space of their home. The homeowners began to notice that the floors in this home were sagging. After calling Fortress, we were able to send our System Designer to this home to provide a solution. After a close look at the issues at hand, the System Designer knew the best solution to fix the sagging floors was to install our SmartJack System. These SmartJacks help to add extra support to any floor joist or beams that may have failed. The System Designer also spoke with the homeowners about why a CleanSpace Encapsulation would be a smart decision.   

Our Forman and his crew installed these products to ensure a stable home and a protected crawl space!
