Before & After

Diana T. was looking to invest in a local small business, but there was one problem. Water was coming into the crawl space during heavy rains. She called Fortress Foundation Solutions after hearing good things from a friend.
A System Designer met with Diana, inspected her crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The CleanSpace is in place to seal the home from the damp earth. The final step is the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. It removes moisture from the air keeping the crawl space dry. Now, the crawl space is clean, dry and Diana knows it will keep this business safe.
In the 'before' photo, you can see the clear issues with sagging floors in this Dayton home, a problem often worsened by weakened floor joists and insufficient support. Fortress Foundation Solutions addressed these concerns with the SmartJack® System. Now as seen in the 'after' photo, the crawl space beams and floor joists have been expertly stabilized. The SmartJack provides a firm foundation, improving both the structural integrity of the home and resident peace of mind. Our installation reduces floor bounce and restores floors to a more level position.
Andy in Dayton, Virginia had us at Fortress out to his home to perform a crawl space encapsulation on a section of his home. Scott and crew installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to the affected portion of the crawl space, sealing out moisture, dirt, and bugs.
Customer in Ringgold, Va was experiencing water entering the basement and water vapor/humidity issues. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a full perimeter WaterGuard system with a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to address the water entering the basement. The CleanSpace wall system and Sedona Dehumidification System was added to address the water vapor/moisture issues.
This homeowner called Fortress with a leaky basement and bowing walls. To solve this problem, Fortress installed six Power Braces, two TripleSafe Sump Systems with a full-perimeter WaterGuard, and a Trench Drain by the basement door. The basement will now stay dry and the walls will never bow in again!
