This house in Palmyra had many issues caused by water intrusion. Not only were the floors bowing, but there was also mold growing in the crawl space insulation. This not only affects the crawl space, but also the air quality of the entire house. Mold is a big issue that can cause insomnia, heightened anxiety and depression, hair loss and many cold-like symptoms. Long-term exposure can even cause long term and sometimes permanent lung damage! Fortress believes in treating every homeowner like family and wants to make sure that our family is not becoming sick by and easily solved problem. Fortress went to this home and installed SmartJacks, a CleanSpace Encapsulation, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This family can rest assured that their crawl space is clean, dry, and mold free!
These homeowners are planning to move in the next two years and wanted to get their home's foundation repaired so any future homeowner wouldn't have to worry about this issue. Their basement walls had visible cracks on multiple walls. Our crew came in and installed seven power braces to ensure their stability. They can now feel confident that foundation issues will not be on any potential home buyers list of concerns.
When Wendell C. of Palmyra, VA, went into his crawl space, he found a pond had formed! Knowing this was NOT good for any home, he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. System Designer, Caleb Stone, met with Wendell, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate. Ready to be rid of the water, Wendell agreed. Soon foreman Warren Dickerson was onsite installing EZFlow pipe that drains all water to the Triple Safe sump pump where it is pumped away from the house. The CleanSpace vapor barrier seals off the ground from the home and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier removes moisture from the air. Now Wendell's crawl space is dry, clean and his home is protected!
A homeowner had noticed several soft spots in her floor. She had a kitchen remodel a few years back and installed granite countertops, an island and a larger refrigerator. Now her floor was beginning to sag under the added weight. She reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our System Designer met with her, providing a free estimate for SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizers. These are an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. They not only provide supplemental support, but can often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. Now this homeowner can confidently walk in her kitchen without feeling like she will fall through the floor!
This homeowners sidewalk was uneven and a tripping hazard. Fortress leveled out the sidewalk by using the Poly Level Injection System. Now the sidewalk looks brand new!
