Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Tim E. of Bedford, VA, noticed stair step cracking in his basement, as well as, vertical cracks going up from the foundation of his home. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions to have the settlement checked out. After meeting with Zach Bullock, who provided a same-day estimate, Tim decided to have his foundation repaired. Foreman, David Bowers, was soon  installing Push Piers. These steel piers are hydraulically driven under the foundation of the home, providing stabilization. Now Tim's foundation and home are permanently stabilized!

A homeowner on Wycliffe St. in Bedford, VA, called Fortress Foundation Solutions after moisture issues in his crawl space. Efflorescence had built up on the walls from years of moisture seeping through the block. Our System Designer Brandon Conner, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon foreman Travis Farmer and his crew were onsite installing drainage matting, and CleanSpace vapor barrier. The CleanSpace keeps out moisture protecting the wood joists keeping the space dry!

Fortress Foundation Solutions received a call from this homeowner due to issues concerning her basement. She explained that her basement was damp and musty because of the moist environment; she also had efflorescence on the floor and walls of the basement. The mustiness and dampness of this space was due to unwanted water and high humidity levels in the basement. The root of the moisture problem was tracked to the basement’s malfunctioning sump pump. Fortress was happy to help this homeowner address all of her basement waterproofing problems. The sump pump was replaced with a SuperSump. A gravity exit was also installed to aid in the removal of the unwanted water. Other drainage systems were also installed: the WaterGuard Port. This helped with the water problems that this basement was experiencing. On the outside of the home, IceGuard and Lawnscape were installed, along with a pump discharge and pipeoff. All of these solutions work to help rid this basement of its musty and damp atmosphere.

This customer noticed stair step cracking on one of their basement walls. Concerned with the structural safety of their home, they reaching out to Fortress for an evaluation. We sent System Designer, Chris, out to the property to preform an inspection of the foundation. Chris found that there was indeed stair step cracking on one of the homes walls, and proposed our CarbonArmor Wall Support System to fix the issue.
