Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

The homeowners in Max Meadows, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns about water coming into the basement of this home. Our System Designer was able to go out to this home and provide a free estimate for a permanent solution. Our System Designer suggested our Water Guard system. This system allows water to flow to a sump pump and out of your basement. We also installed our Supersump sump pump. This pump helps put the water out of the basement through a discharge line. Our Foreman and his crew installed these products and left these homeowners knowing they had a permanent solution for their home.     

This homeowner gave Fortress a call because each time they would receive any rain in their area, their basement would too!

Our system designer, Chris Guill, went out to their home to do a complete inspection. After providing an estimate that included a full perimeter WaterGuard System along with a TripleSafe Sump Pump, this homeowner quickly agreed! 

Our WaterGuard System is the ideal choice when waterproofing a basement. This French drain system is installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing, keeping the drainage system out of the "mud zone" where it could potentially get clogged. All water enters the WaterGuard flowing to the sump pump and is pumped out of the home. The TripleSafe includes three pumps - two for heavy rains and the third connected to a battery backup in case the power goes out. Now the basement is dry in all situations.

This homeowner in Galax contacted Fortress with concerns about their home's foundation. Stair-step cracks is an indicator of foundation sinking and settling. System Designer, Chris Guill, went out for a full evaluation. He determined the home needed foundation repair. 

Our crew installed 10 Push Piers to lift and stabilize that foundation. Push Piers are installed next to the footings and attached with a heavy duty steel brackets. Soil is backfilled around the piers once stabilization and lifting is complete to finish the installation. 

Robert E. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after the patio where his hot tub is located had dropped and cracked. He did not want anyone tripping or falling! System Designer, Chris Guill, was happy to provide a free estimate to lift and level the patio. PolyCrew leader, Tim Gregorin, used his expertise to carefully inject PolyLevel foam into the slab and apply NexusPro to fill the cracks. Now Robert and his family can enjoy their hot tub again without stubbed toes or twisted ankles!

Greg W. had taken a look in his crawl space to see about some plumbing repairs and noticed evidence of moisture along the walls. Having only owned the home for a few years, he was unsure of the severity of the moisture intrusion. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate. A System Designer met with Greg, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The CleanSpace is in place to seal the home from the damp earth. Moisture and its damaging effects on the wood structure of the home are kept out. The final step is the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. It removes moisture from the air keeping the crawl space dry. When Greg looks into his crawl space now, it is clean, dry and he knows his home is protected!
