The basement of this home in Deerfield had foundation walls that were cracking and bowing. The homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to get those walls stabilized before it became a more severe problem.
The best solution for this home was to install GeoLock Channel Anchors. The Geolocks will permanently stabilize the foundation wall and in many cases can straighten the wall back to its original position. Heavy-duty earth anchors are embedded in stable soil away from the foundation wall, and are then connected to steel channel anchors with long, galvanized rods. Once tightened, the anchors will hold the wall securely in its current position without any further adjustment. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing their foundation is supported and stabilized!
This house was experiencing water intrusion issues along the front wall of the home. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a WaterGaurd system and Super Sump + to address the issues with water coming into the front wall of the basement.

The basement of this home in Huddleston had a problem with repeated flooding. The homeowner reached out to Fortress for a permanent solution on how to keep their basement dry.
Our System Designer,went out to assess this home and determined that the best solution would be to install our WaterGuard XL System along the perimeter of the basement, along with a TripleSafe sump pump and a SaniDry XP dehumidifier.
Our WaterGuard System is designed to capture any wall or floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor, any water will then drain to the TripleSafe and be pumped out of the home. These products will work together to ensure that this homeowner will no longer have to worry about a flooded basement!
