Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner wanted to install new flooring in their Powhatan home, but had to address the sagging floors first. Part of their floor was being held up by a tree trunk! Chris Wilmouth, System Designer, came out to do a full inspection and provide a free estimate. Foreman, Warren Dickerson, who has lots of crawl space experience, came out with his crew to install Smart Jacks. These jacks provide stabilization for the floor joists to help sagging floors. Soon the floors were stabilized and ready to receive new flooring!

Joe W. of Powhatan, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing his floors sagging. System Designer, Zack Bullock, went out to meet with Joe, inspect the crawl space and provide a free estimate. Zach proposed Smart Jacks to lift the floor and an encapsulation to protect the floor joists from further moisture damage. Joe agreed! Foreman, Travis Farmer, was assigned to the job. He set the footers, installed the Smart Jack post under the beam, and lifted until the floor was stabilized. The final step was to install CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier sealing the house off from the damp ground below. Now when Joe walks across his kitchen he is confident knowing his floor is stable, his crawl space is clean & dry, eliminating future mold growth or floor sagging. 

A homeowner had noticed several soft spots in her floor. She had a kitchen remodel a few years back and installed granite countertops, an island and a larger refrigerator. Now her floor was beginning to sag under the added weight. She reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our System Designer met with her, providing a free estimate for SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizers. These are an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. They not only provide supplemental support, but can often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. Now this homeowner can confidently walk in her kitchen without feeling like she will fall through the floor!

This home in Drakes Branch had a chimney that had started separating from the home. This can be the result of the home's foundation settling.

Fortress went out and installed 3 PushPiers. The PushPiers will not only prevent further separation of the chimney, but they will lift that area of the foundation back to its original position!

This home in Beaverdam had foundation walls that were cracking. The homeowner reached out to Fortress for a solution to stabilize those walls.

Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to assess this home and determined that the best solution would be to install our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System.

The CarbonArmor system permanently stabilizes your home's foundation walls by using fiber-reinforced polymers which are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against your basement wall. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing their foundation is supported and stabilized.
