Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Last winter, a homeowner in Springfield, VA, faced the unwelcome challenge of frozen pipes, prompting them to reach out to us for a crawl space repair solution. The before photo captures the unprotected state of their crawl space, starkly highlighting the need for intervention. We stepped in with our cutting-edge products: CleanSpace to seal off moisture, SaniDry Sedona for dehumidification, and SilverGlow™ to insulate the area effectively. As evident in the after photo, the transformation ensures that the crawl space is now a fortified barrier against the cold, safeguarding the home from similar issues in the future. With this proactive approach, we not only addressed the immediate problem but also contributed to the long-term protection and efficiency of the home.

This customer in Fort Belvoir called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing water intrusion in their crawl space. Fortress sent a system designer out to conduct a free estimate and inspection. The customer was pleased with the proposal and went forward with the work. Our crews installed a water proofing system with a sump pump, covered with dimple matting and our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier system to give this customer peace of mind!

This homeowner near Woodbine, Maryland was experiencing issues with sagging floors. They noticed a crack in the wall by their bedroom door frame, which is a common symptom of settlement. Knowing Fortress Foundation Solution's expertise in this area, they called for a solution. Our system designer went out and gave them a free estimate and presented a plan to solve their issue. Our crew then went out and installed SmartJacks to stabilize and lift the floors back to their original position. The floor was stabilized and lifted, and even closed the crack! The homeowner was very happy that their floor was returned to its original position and strength! These before and after photos show what Fortress Foundation Solutions is capable of!

This homeowner in Arlington, Virginia had been dealing with water in his basement. He attempted to remedy the basement flooding issue with an inefficient open sump pump. Not only could this generic sump pump not keep the basement dry, but it not being sealed properly posed other issues. The open sump allowed moisture from the water it did collect to escape out into the space, which was causing the air to be humid and smell musty. He decided he needed a permanent fix, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our system designer went to the home and gave a free estimate and designed a system to remedy the problem. Fortress installed a waterproofing system that included our SuperSump pump, which is capable of pumping 2,200 gallons of water per hour. This SuperSump was installed with our UltraSump battery back up system that continues to pump up to 11,500 gallons of water during a power outage. All of our sump systems are air tight so moisture and smells can't escape into the air of the home. 

Tackling water intrusion challenges in Alexandria, VA, our team transformed a wet basement into a fortress against moisture.
