Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This basement in Lynch Station had cracking and bowing walls. This can be very dangerous because it is a sign that the foundation wall is failing. Fortress was able to solve this problem by installing CarbonArmor Straps to stabilize the foundation. Over time these straps can be tightened to straighten the wall.

This house had cracking walls, bowing floors, and a dirty crawlspace. Fortress solved this problem by installing SmartJacks to stabalize the floor and stop the wall cracks. FOrtress also encapsulated the crawlspace with CleanSpace to keep the crawlspace clean and dry.

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!
