This homeowner in Brookneal reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had a recurring issue with water seeping into the basement when it rained.
To solve this water intrusion issue, Fortress sent out our Foreman and his crew to install our WaterGuard System along the perimeter basement walls, along with a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System. These products will work together to keep this basement dry by catching any water seepage before it reaches the basement floor, and pumping it out of the home!
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 Crystal Hill, a homeowner faced significant issues due to a failing wall, compromising their foundation's integrity. The before photo emphasizes the severity of the pressure exerting unsightly and dangerous bulges. With our expert team on the job, we implemented the PowerBrace™ System. Notice in the after photo how the zinc-plated steel beams effectively stabilized the wall, reversing structural weakness without the need for invasive digging. This innovative solution not only addresses immediate concerns but ensures long-term security and stability, reinforcing the homeowner's peace of mind.
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!
