Paul noticed a horizontal crack developing in one of the block walls of his Strasburg, Virginia basement. Wanting to address the issue before it worsened, he contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a professional inspection.
Because the problem was caught early, Travis and Jack were able to stabilize the wall with a less invasive solution by installing 6 CarbonArmor Wall Support Straps. This system reinforces the wall, helps prevent further movement, and features a low-profile design that can be finished over with drywall if desired. As shown in the after photo, the basement wall is now securely reinforced and protected for the future.
Chris noticed one of the basement walls in his Ruckersville, Virginia home beginning to bow inward. Concerned about the wall's stability, he wanted a permanent solution before the problem became more severe.
Travis and Jack stabilized the affected wall by installing 5 CarbonArmor Wall Support Straps. This low-profile reinforcement system is an excellent solution for minor wall movement, helping prevent further bowing while preserving valuable basement space.
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.
Jessica was dealing with ongoing water intrusion in the basement of her Winchester home. Over time, the excess moisture contributed to one of the basement walls beginning to bow inward, raising concerns about the long-term stability of her foundation.
Cope and his crew installed a complete repair solution, including a WaterGuard waterproofing system, TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and 10 CarbonArmor wall support straps. As shown in the after photo, the basement is now dry, the humidity is under control, and the bowing wall has been permanently reinforced to help prevent further movement.
