About Fortress Stabilization Systems

Ed Wheatley and Todd Jackson are the founders of Fortress Stabilization Systems. Jackson, who acts as the company's technical field representative, has been involved in the foundation repair industry since 1985 and has owned a waterproofing and restoration business for more than 14 years. He has seen a tremendous amount of concrete and masonry foundations that have succumbed to lateral loads. The most common methods for stabilizing these bowed walls have been the use of steel I-beams or tiebacks. Although these steel support systems can be effective, Jackson says they have certain drawbacks that many homeowners find unacceptable. Not only are the repairs labor-intensive and disruptive, they are also virtually impossible to conceal.

About seven years ago, Jackson began experimenting with the use of carbon fibers to address many of the common problems and shortfalls of using steel.
