This home was experiencing main level sagging floors, cracks in the walls, and floors separating from walls. There was also issues with water in the crawlspace, humidity and mold in the home. Upon inspection, we found falling insulation, rotting and moldy joists, and a basic, ineffective plastic sheet on the ground. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry dehumidifer, a total CleanSpace encapsulation, replaced the rotting joists, and installed SmartJacks for a permanent water-free and structurally stable home.
This is the beginning phase of one of our recent projects. The homeowner's request was for Fortress Foundation Solutions to fix the floors and dirt basement area of her home.
Our production team cleared out the area and leveled the dirt floor. CleanSpace encapsulation system was installed to isolate the house from the ground helping to control tempature and moisture within the space. Smart Jacks replaced wooden supports to lift and stabilize the beams and floor joists. The threaded rods within the steel comuns allowed for adjustment and custom fit for each Smart Jack installed. The Super Sump plus pumping system was installed to keep water draining away from the area. With the high-end 1/3 horsepower Zoeller pump, this system has the best pump available, pumping nearly 2650 gallons of water an hour. The patented SuperLiner has an airtight lid to prevent debris from getting in and moisture and odors from getting out. This sump system also includes the WaterWatch alarm system that will sound if water rises above the point where pump should turn on to alert of any potential problems before damage occurs. The transformation of this area now provides additional storage and a clean, protected environment for the homeowner.
This homeowner came to Fortress Foundation Solutions with several wall cracks inside and outside of their home from foundation settlement. Fortress solved this by installing five PushPiers that will support the foundation and prevent any further cracking.
This finished basement needed waterproofing after a flooding incident. The flooring and an old sump pump was removed. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter WaterGuard french drain, Triple Safe sump pump with external discharge, and a SaniDry dehumidifier. We use plastic sheeting to keep our customers' homes clean and tidy while we work.
The crawl space of this home in Churchville was wet, musty, and needed some help! The homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to get these issues resolved.
After having one of our System Designers out to assess this home and determine the best solution, Fortress sent our Foreman and his crew out to do the job. They installed a complete CleanSpace Encapsulation, SilverGlo Wall Insulation, a SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. These products will continuously work together to keep all water and moisture out of the crawl space, keeping this space clean and dry!
