Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This returning customer was experiencing uneven floors in her home, and also had a crack in the hallway wall. Several years ago, we installed a SmartJack System in her crawlspace, and since she had a positive experience working with us in the past, and trusted us again with her home for this project. After our System Designer, Troy King, went out to have a look at what the cause may be, he discovered that some of the original wooden joists in her crawlspace were now rotting, causing her floors to be uneven and walls to begin cracking. Troy created a custom solution for her crawlspace that would not only fix the rotting joists, but also keep her crawlspace dry for years to come! Later, Foreman Warren used pressure treated lumber for the full joists, and CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the space clean, dry, and pest free! Now her home is stable and dry for many years to come!

Michael B. of Whitetop, VA, called Fortress Foundation Solutions after realizing his crawl space was damp and musty! He was concerned about the moisture causing damage to his floor joists and sub-flooring. System Designer, Troy King, was happy to meet with Michael and his wife. After performing a full inspection, Troy presented them with a free estimate. It didn't take long for these homeowners to decide to protect their biggest investment by encapsulating their crawl space! Warren Dickerson, foreman, was sent out to install CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Soon Michael's crawl space was clean, bright, white and ready for storage! 

This homeowner had extensive water damage and lots of mold and mildew in their basement. They hired Fortress Foundation Solutions to solve these problems. We installed a full perimeter WaterGuard with a TripleSafe. Sump System. We also installed a CleanSpace Liner so the walls will stak clean and mold free!

This homeowner in Halifax reached out to Fortress because they were tired of their basement flooding every time it rained heavily, and were looking for a permanent solution.

Our System Designer, Chris Guill, went out to assess the basement and determined that the best solution would be to install our WaterGuard XL System along the perimeter of the basement, along with a TripleSafe Sump Pump. 

Our WaterGuard System is designed to capture any wall or floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor, any water will then drain to the TripleSafe and be pumped out of the home. Together these products will ensure that this homeowner will never have to worry about a flooded basement again!

The basement of this home in Halifax had a problem with water intrusion, and also had some cracking and bowing in the cinder block walls. The homeowner reached out to Fortress for a solution on how to keep their basement dry, and also have those walls stabilized and supported.

Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to assess this home and determined that the best solution would be to install our WaterGuard XL System along the perimeter of the basement, along with a SuperSump sump pump. He also recommended we install 9 power braces to stabilize the walls and prevent further bowing.

Our WaterGuard System is designed to capture any wall or floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor, any water will then drain to the SuperSump and be pumped out of the home. The PowerBrace system permanently stabilizes your home's foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fit to your basement wall height and secured tight against your basement wall with brackets anchored to your basement floor and floor joists. PowerBrace's can be tightened over time, potentially reversing wall failure without any invasive drilling or digging on the property.
