Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

In Burke, VA, a homeowner faced the daunting issue of a sinking front porch stoop accompanied by a cracked-up concrete walkway—clearly illustrated in the 'before' photo. We at Fortress Foundation Solutions swiftly addressed these problems. Through the adept application of our PolyLevel, SealantPro, and NexusPro solutions, we lifted, sealed, and refurbished the concrete to its former glory, as visible in the 'after' photo. These cutting-edge treatments not only rectified the issues but guaranteed a lasting resolution, reinforcing our commitment to providing homeowners with reliable solutions and a remarkable customer experience.

This homeowner in Arlington, Virginia had been dealing with water in his basement. He attempted to remedy the basement flooding issue with an inefficient open sump pump. Not only could this generic sump pump not keep the basement dry, but it not being sealed properly posed other issues. The open sump allowed moisture from the water it did collect to escape out into the space, which was causing the air to be humid and smell musty. He decided he needed a permanent fix, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our system designer went to the home and gave a free estimate and designed a system to remedy the problem. Fortress installed a waterproofing system that included our SuperSump pump, which is capable of pumping 2,200 gallons of water per hour. This SuperSump was installed with our UltraSump battery back up system that continues to pump up to 11,500 gallons of water during a power outage. All of our sump systems are air tight so moisture and smells can't escape into the air of the home. 

Last winter, a homeowner in Springfield, VA, faced the unwelcome challenge of frozen pipes, prompting them to reach out to us for a crawl space repair solution. The before photo captures the unprotected state of their crawl space, starkly highlighting the need for intervention. We stepped in with our cutting-edge products: CleanSpace to seal off moisture, SaniDry Sedona for dehumidification, and SilverGlow™ to insulate the area effectively. As evident in the after photo, the transformation ensures that the crawl space is now a fortified barrier against the cold, safeguarding the home from similar issues in the future. With this proactive approach, we not only addressed the immediate problem but also contributed to the long-term protection and efficiency of the home.

This customer noticed significant settling of their bay window on the front of their home. After calling Fortress Foundation Solutions, setting an appointment, and receiving an inspection and recommendation from one of our system designers, they chose to accept our proposal to fix their settlement issues for good! We turned to our Helical Pier system to stabilize and restore the position of their foundation! Helical piers are a great option for stabilizing foundations or other masonry elements and we're so glad that we were able to utilize them for these clients!

Ms. Home Owner Called Fortress Foundation Solutions because she noticed her floors were sagging and soft. 

We sent out our system designer Skylar and he was swiftly able to diagnose and find a cure for her damp crawl space.
