Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Stabilized Near Arvonia, VA
A homeowner near Arvonia, VA contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing settling in his foundation, specifically the front porch area. Caleb Stone, System Designer, performed a thorough inspection. Caleb diagnosed the foundation settlement and presented a same-day proposal for the solution - Helical Piers. These are steel rods screwed into the ground hydraulically under the footer of the home to stabilize the foundation and prevent further damage. Soon, foreman David Bowers and his crew were on-site installing the helical piers. With this solution, this home is now secure and stable once again!
