Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Repair Near Round Hill, VA
A Round Hill, VA homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions after deciding to put their house up for sale. The back corner of the home had quite a bit of settling with visible cracks in the block foundation. System Designer Dave Mauldin went out to the home for an inspection providing a free estimate for the repair. Push Piers were recommended to stabilize the foundation. Soon foreman Nick was onsite with his crew installing the Push Piers. Now the homeowner can list their house for sale, providing the lifetime warranty Fortress offers.
