Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This Pounding Mill basement was moldy and water stained from repeated flooding. Fortress solved this problem by installing WaterGuard with a TripleSafe Sump System and a SaniDry XP. Now the basement will stay mold free and never flood again!

Lawrence T. reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after discovering standing water and moisture beginning to damage his wooden floor joists. Moisture-saturated insulation was also falling down in his crawl space. How could this be happening? He had laid down plastic over the ground and thought his crawl space would be protected. Many people don't think about the effects moisture has as it rises from the ground under their homes. If left untreated, the moisture will cause thousands of dollars' worth of damage in the future. Our Fortress System Designers help educate customers on protecting their home by providing printed materials, using video media, through conversation, and of course, providing a free estimate for repair. Lawrence's crawl space needed SilverGlo insulation, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The SilverGlo is installed on the walls and insulates to keep the home warm in winter and cool in the summer. It is moisture resistant and won't get moldy or break down. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier seals off the home from the damp/wet ground below. The SaniDry Sedona removes excess moisture, keeping the area dry and protecting the wood. Lawrence's home is his biggest asset. Why wouldn't he want to protect it with his custom solution from Fortress Foundation Solutions?

Rick H. of Marion, VA noticed deep cracks forming in the center of his patio making it uneven. Growing more concerned. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate. A System Designer met with Rick and explained how our PolyLevel Injection Foam System could raise his patio - possibly to the original height. Ready to go ahead, the PolyLevel crew was soon on their way to his home. They were able to lift and level his patio three inches, back to its original height. Now Rick and his family can safely enjoy this outdoor space again!

This crawl space in Tazewell was dirty, unusable for storage, and had water damage from repeated flooding. Fortress solved these issues by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation System and a SmartSump sump pump System with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Now this crawlspace will stay clean and dry, providing extra storage space for this homeowner. 

Water was coming in through the customers cinder block walls, both on the walls that met the outside and a wall that met an adjacent crawlspace. This was causing water damage to the items stored and rust on the HVAC and water heater. Another big problem was the musty odors so often associated with musty, moldy, wet basements. Fortress Foundation Solutions ran a full perimeter waterproofing system and reduced moisture from the walls with the BrightWall vapor barrier. Our SuperSump pump replaced the underperforming old pump they'd had and as a final measure, and our SaniDry air system keeps the house dry and the air clean and odor-free.
