This home has been in the family for many years with the current owner having been born and raised there. They reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to explore options to prevent water intrusion in certain areas in their basement. Our System Designer, Brandon Conner, went out to inspect the home and developed a permanent waterproofing solution. Our Foreman, Andre Luck and his crew installed a Waterguard XL drainage system and a trench drain by the outside basement door, in addition to a TripleSafe Sump Pump to divert water out and away from the home, permanently preventing water entering the basement in the future.
This Appomattox homeowner knew she had sagging floors, but didn't know about the mold problem until her plumber pointed it out and told her to call the experts - Fortress Foundation Solutions. Caleb Stone was quick to provide her with a free estimate and she agreed to get that mold out of her home! Our foreman, Lucky, and his crew went to work and soon it was bye-bye mold. They then installed Smart Jacks to lift and stabilize her sagging floor joists and finished by encapsulating the entire crawl space with CleanSpace. Now ground moisture is locked away preventing further mold growth and wood rot. Clean, mold-free air flows from the crawl space up into the home making it safe and secure!
Homeowner Dan Power recently purchased a home in Appomattox, VA. His last home had a crawlspace that had been encapsulated, and Dan enjoyed the peace of mind and extra storage space that created for him and his family. When he purchased his new home, he knew he wanted to have the same thing, so he called up Fortress. We send out one of our System Designers, Caleb Stone, and he did an inspection and created a plan to suit the needs of the Power family. They agreed to the plan, and had WaterGuard, SilverGlo, CleanSpace, and a Sedona SaniDry installed by a crew led by Warren Dickerson. This system would keep their foundation safe from water damage, their energy bills low, and would create more real estate for them to store items in. After the project was complete, they were happy with the installation, and very pleased with how pleasant the process was, saying that "the service and dependability is the best."
This basement had an existing sump pump, which we removed and replaced with a TripleSafe.
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed CleanSpace drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, SmartJacks, and a SaniDry XP dehumidifier with external discharge.
