Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This large crawl space in Rural Retreat had many issues caused by water intrusion. Not only were the walls stained, but there was also mold growing on them. This not only affects the crawl space, but the air quality of the entire house. Mold is related to issues like insomnia, heightened anxiety and depression, hair loss and many cold-like symptoms. Long-term exposure has been linked to permanent lung damage! Fortress believes in treating every homeowner like family and wants to make sure that our family and community have healthy homes. Our crew was able to install full perimeter WaterGuard leading to a SuperSump Plus Premier Sump Pump, bright white CleanSpace on the walls making sure they are sealed, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the air dry. This family can rest assured that their crawl space is clean, dry, and mold free! 

In Rural Retreat, VA, a homeowner faced uneven and unstable concrete surfaces, as seen in the before photo. This problem compromised the safety and appearance of their property, leading them to contact Fortress Foundation Solutions. To rectify the situation, we applied our PolyLevel system. We drilled pea-sized holes and injected high-strength polyurethane foam to fill the voids under the slabs. The foam expanded, effectively stabilizing, lifting, and leveling the concrete. As visible in the after photo, the surface is now smooth and secure, demonstrating the effectiveness of concrete repair.

In Crockett, a homeowner struggled with a foundation wall that showed significant inward movement. Notice in the before photo how troubling this issue was. Our professional team at Fortress Foundation Solutions expertly addressed this problem by installing the GeoLock Wall Anchor System®. As the after photo reveals, our solutions securely stabilized the wall with heavy-duty steel earth anchors connected to galvanized steel wall plates. Installed swiftly, often in just one day, these anchors not only restored stability but also brought peace of mind with their durable protection against further movement.

This home was suffering from severe wall bowing and stair step cracking. Fortress went out to inspect the issue and proposed our PowerBrace Wall Support System to permanently stabilize the walls.

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed an interior french drain system, with a TripleSafe Sump Pump and battery backup with external discharge, CleanSpace liner, and FoaMax rim joist insulation.
