This Brookneal, Virginia homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to get an inspection for issues he was having in his Crawl Space. We sent out a system designer and came up with a plan to install a full encapsulation system using our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, EzFlow drainage system, UltraSump Sump Pump, and Sedona Dehumidifer. These system works to keep ground water in check, humidity down, and pests out of the crawl space.

In Norwood, Virginia, we addressed a significant issue with bowing basement walls, as seen in the before photo. The homeowner contacted us to fix these failing walls, recognizing the threat they posed to the foundation's stability. We utilized our CarbonArmor® system, a non-invasive, permanent solution that stabilizes block foundation walls. With carbon fiber-reinforced polymers and ArmorLock brackets, our solution stopped the wall from leaning inward, offering durable protection. The after photo demonstrates the success of our intervention, ensuring the homeowner’s foundation remains secure and intact.
This homeowner neat Augusta, WV called Fortress Foundation Solutions after cracks in the basement walls and water coming in the cracks became unmanageable. He was unable to use his basement for storage as the items became moldy. Our system designer recommended a basement water proofing system. Eager to reclaim the space, the homeowner proceeded. Soon a water proofing crew was onsite installing WaterGuard drainage, a Triple Safe Sump Pump and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on the walls. The CleanSpace is antimicrobial and directs all water seeping through the walls down into the WaterGuard. It is then drained to the sump pump and pumped out of the home. Now this homeowner's basement is dry and the space usable again!
In Covesville, a homeowner faced a significant issue with a bowing basement wall that was at risk of further structural failure, as seen in the before photo.

Notice in the after photo, the wall is now stabilized and safeguarded long-term. The homeowner now benefits from a more secure and safe foundation, mitigating previous concerns about wall stability.
