Foundation Repair Photo Album: Wall Repair Near Catlett, VA
A homeowner near Catlett, VA reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions. The wall cracks in the basement were getting worse. He made a free estimate appointment with system designer Danny Camunas. Danny completed a thorough inspection and recommended a permanent solution - our PowerBrace™ system. It is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. The PowerBraces were soon installed by foreman Travis Farmer and his crew. The multiple steps of the installation can be seen in this photo gallery.
Cracks & Mold
Wall cracks allow water to come in leading to mold and mildew growth. They are bowing as well.
Floor Brackets
These specially designed floor brackets anchor the PowerBrace so it can stabilize the wall.
Attached to Floor Joists
Each Power Brace is secured by a specially designed bracket that attaches to the floor joist.
PowerBrace Installation Finished
