Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Two-part crawl space encapsulation in Staunton, VA! This project included extensive debris and insulation removal, the installation of 10 SmartJack® support posts with a supplemental support beam, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and SilverGlo™ insulation to create a cleaner, stronger, and healthier crawl space.

During a light rainstorm passing through Staunton, Virginia, Ms. Baker went downstairs to her finished, carpeted basement and ended up with wet socks. Her basement had flooded.

She Googled “wet basement repair” in her area and called us at Fortress Foundation Solutions. System Designer Joe went out to inspect the source of the water and found groundwater seepage pushing its way through the floor/wall joints. He put together a repair plan, and not too long after, we sent Gustavo and his crew out to take care of the job.

They started by removing the ruined paneling along the walls. Then, they jackhammered the floor around the perimeter and installed our WaterGuard system. After that, they laid clean crushed stone around the WaterGuard and resealed the floor with concrete.

They also covered the walls with our CleanSpace Wall System to prevent any moisture from seeping through the porous concrete walls. They finished off the job by tying everything into a TripleSafe sump pump system and left Ms. Baker’s basement clean, dry, and healthier than when they first arrived!

This customer had some concerns about cracked and unlevel concrete in his home, so he reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions, who sent out our System Designer, Danny Camunas, to come take a look. After a thorough inspection, Danny designed a solution and gave him an estimate that same day. Shortly after, our Foreman, Mickey Knight, and his Co-Foreman, Dom Wells, came out and injected our PolyLevel Foam under the concrete to raise it up, making it nice and even. Our customer loved the result!

This customer called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing bouncy floors in their kitchen. We sent out one of our System Designers, Eddie, to take a look and provide a quote for repair. We found that the crawl space was in need a full encapsulation and main beam support. We recommended our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier system and our SmartJack floor support system. Happy with the proposal, we moved forward with the work. This customer is thrilled to have their floors stabilized and crawl space protected.

Landon in Lynchburg noticed a few small cracks forming along one of the basement walls. At first it didn’t seem like much, but after a closer look—and spotting a slight inward bow—there was enough concern to reach out to our team and schedule a FREE inspection. Our system designer evaluated the wall and found early signs of pressure from the surrounding soil.

After reviewing the proposal, Landon decided to move forward with the repair. Since the issue was caught early, our crew was able to stabilize the wall without a major rebuild. We installed five CarbonArmor straps along the affected area, bonding them directly to the wall to prevent any further movement.

Now, the wall is stable and secure. By addressing the problem early, Landon can have peace of mind knowing it won’t get worse over time.
