Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Debra was dealing with moisture coming from the crawl space beneath her Madison home. Excess humidity and damp conditions were affecting the home's environment and creating concerns about long-term moisture problems.

To permanently address the issue, our team installed a complete CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system, including EZ Flow drainage, a SuperSump® sump pump, CleanSpace® vapor barrier, SilverGlo™ insulation, and a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier. As shown in the after photos, the crawl space is now dry, sealed, and protected from future moisture intrusion.

In Winchester, Virginia, homeowner Liz was preparing to put her home on the market when she discovered moldy belongings and staining on several basement block walls while moving items around.

Concerned about what this could mean for the sale of her home, she contacted her realtor for advice. The realtor immediately reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions and scheduled a free inspection to determine what repairs would be needed to help maximize the home's value and marketability.

System Designer Adam conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the basement and determined that water intrusion was affecting three of the foundation walls. He developed a customized solution to address the issue, and our production team quickly got to work installing a partial waterproofing system tied into a sump pump system.

With the water intrusion problem professionally addressed, Liz can now list her home with confidence, knowing her basement is dry and ready for potential buyers.

This home owner called Fortress Foundation Solutions worried because there was a musty smell throughout their home. They called our Fortress team and we sent our System Designer, Sonny, out to take a look. Sonny inspected the property and discovered water getting into their crawl space. After Sonny was finished with his inspection, he determined that the best solution was to have our production team install our Crawl Space Encapsulation System along with our SmartSump Pump to remove the water permanently and give them peace of mind knowing their crawl space will always be dry.  

This customer was worried about the state of his crawl space, particularly about the water leaking in, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions to come give him a free estimate. We sent out our System Designer, Paul Heckman, who did a thorough inspection of his crawl space and designed a solution just for him. Soon after signing the contract, our Foreman, Travis Farmer, and his crew went out to complete the job. They installed our SmartPump Sump Pump system to keep the water out, as well as our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the air in the crawl space moisture-free. To finish the job, they installed our SilverGlo Insulation on the walls, as well as our Drainage Matting and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on the ground to ensure the crawl space stays nice and dry. Our client was incredibly satisfied with the result!

Jimi H. of Berkeley Springs, WV noticed water damage in his unfinished basement after a weekend of heavy rain. He recognized it was time to contact Fortress Foundation Solutions and schedule his complimentary estimate.

System Designer Kurtis Toppert identified that the pressure from the heavy rains had led to a buildup of water near the foundation, causing a hairline crack that allowed water to seep in—a phenomenon known as hydrostatic pressure.

Kurtis swiftly addressed the crack by utilizing flexible carbon fiber fabric straps called CarbonArmor which are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. Using high-strength epoxy resin, the carbon fiber straps were bonded to the interior face of the wall. They dried quickly and will not affect future basement finishing plans.

Immar and Edgar served as the foremen on this project. After applying the CarbonArmor, they covered the wall with in BrightWall and installed our WaterGuard system around the entire perimeter to ensure a consistently dry basement. Furthermore, they tied our WaterGuard system into our Triple Safe Sump Pump system, providing these homeowners with complete and total peace of mind.
