Foundation Repair Photo Album: Stronger Than Steel in Occoquan, VA
A homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after putting her house up for sale. A home inspection revealed bowing walls in the basement. She knew Fortress' expertise in foundation repairs and met with one of our highly trained System Designers. After an inspection, he was able to diagnose the problem and provide a free estimate for a permanent solution. Soon foreman Clarence Copeland, (Cope), was at the home with his crew installing a Carbon Armor system to permanently stabilize the home’s foundation walls. Once these repairs were complete with the life-time guarantee, perspective buyers felt confident and this house was sold!
Stronger than Steel
Carbon Armor is Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP's), 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against your basement wall. Now the Carbon Armor are fully installed and will keep the wall from bowing any further.
Step 1
The wall is prepared by grinding strips where the straps will be installed. Grout lines are filled in for best adhesion.
Attached to Floor Joists
Crew members attach the Carbon Fiber Straps to floor joists making the CarbonArmor solution fast, non-invasive, and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls.
