Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Ray B. of Scottsville, VA reached out to Fortress about the horizontal crack in his basement wall. Looking to sell the home, he knew potential buys would walk away from a home with a compromised foundation! Fortress was able to respond quickly by sending out Zach Bullock, system designer, to provide a free estimate. Ray agreed and foreman, Warren Dickerson, was on the job installing the solution - PowerBraces. These steel I-beams are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. This system reinforces the wall stopping any further bowing. Now this Scottsville, VA home is ready to go on the market!

This home’s large crawlspace caused numerous problems for its homeowner. The space was damp, moist, and extremely dirty. Insulation was hanging down from the ceiling. The entire space was dusty and dirty. And water stains were all over the concrete blocks causing efflorescence and mold to be found on the walls and ceiling. Water was clearly not exiting this crawlspace properly. Even though this space needed multiple installations, Fortress Foundation Solutions was able to get the job done! In this 5 day install, Fortress provided this homeowner with solutions to transform her crawlspace. First, Fortress removed all of the debris and insulation from the space. After the space was clear, we then covered the ground, columns, and walls with CleanSpace drain matting. An interior drainage system, EZ Flow, was installed to help remove the unwanted water which was settling in the crawlspace. Two exterior drainage solutions were provided, the IceGuard and Lawnscape; these products remove the water from the crawlspace and allow it to travel further from the home. This ensures that the water will not seep back into the crawlspace. All of this water was pumped out of the crawlspace via a SmartSump. A Sanidry XP was installed to counteract the high humidity level (which was causing the mold to grow). Lastly, Fortress sealed all of the crawlspace’s vents with CleanSpace and installed an Everlast crawlspace door.

This Buffalo Junction basement suffered from repeated flooding. Mold was growing and there were water stains on the floors and walls. Fortress installed a full perimeter WaterGuard with a SuperSump Plus System to ensure that the basement will not flood again Fortress also installed CleanSpace wall coverings to make the basement look bright and clean.

The basement of the Buffalo Junction home had a recurring issue with water seeping in through the foudation with rain. The homeowner reached out to Fortress to see what could be done to solve this problem.

Fortress went out and installed our CleanSpace Wall System, along with our WaterGuard XL System, and a SuperSump 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 SuperSump and be pumped out of the home. Together these products will ensure that this basement will remain dry!

This home in Buffalo Junction, VA was experiencing water issues in their basement. Fortress Foundation Solutions came out and installed our Water Guard system to catch any water coming in at the footer of the wall and also, we put in a Triple Safe sump pump to take the water caught and pump it outside of the home. No more leaky basement for these homeowners!
