In Annandale, Virginia, a homeowner sought assistance from Fortress Foundation Solutions after receiving a recommendation regarding elevated moisture levels in their recently purchased property's dirt crawlspace. System designer Todd Simmons offered comprehensive insights during the consultation, emphasizing the modern approach of treating crawl spaces as integral components of home structure rather than external areas.
Todd explained the necessity of separating the earth from the home and protecting it against environmental factors. Impressed by Todd's expertise, the homeowner chose Fortress Foundation Solutions for a comprehensive solution.
Our team prioritized ensuring a consistently dry crawl space through meticulous planning. This involved digging trenches and connecting them to our Triple Safe Sump System, renowned for its reliability and resilience with three pumps and a backup generator, effectively addressing water infiltration concerns.
Additionally, we installed drainage matting followed by over 100 feet of our proprietary CleanSpace encapsulation system. This multi-layered solution, engineered for durability, effectively isolates the crawl space from external elements, fortifying the home against moisture intrusion and enhancing its structural integrity.
At Fortress Foundation Solutions, we take pride in helping homeowners protect their properties from structural damage. Recently, a customer reached out to us with concerns about a leaning retaining wall at their home. Over time, soil pressure and environmental factors had caused the wall to shift, posing a risk to both the property and safety.
Understanding the urgency of the situation, we sent System Designer Riley to assess the damage. During the inspection, Riley carefully examined the wall’s condition and identified the best solution to restore its stability. After a thorough evaluation, he provided the homeowner with a detailed quote and repair plan to address the issue effectively.
To correct the leaning wall and prevent further movement, our team installed GeoLock wall anchors—a proven system designed to straighten and stabilize foundation walls over time. These heavy-duty anchors provide long-term support by counteracting the external pressure that caused the wall to shift in the first place.
After installing the GeoLock anchors, the retaining wall was significantly reinforced, restoring both its functionality and structural integrity. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing their property is protected from further damage.
