Siblings at this family camp in Bedford, VA, wouldn't settle for settling! They reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions. System Designer, Sonny Kingsbury, was happy to meet them at the property for a free estimate. After a thorough inspection, Sonny found that only the concrete had settled. The issue was caught early enough and as long as they acted quickly, they would be able to prevent foundation damage. They agreed! Soon the PolyLevel crew was onsite, lifting and leveling the concrete. The before and after photos show the dramatic change. Now their camp is once again safe and ready for more memory making!

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.
