Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

In Lincoln, VA, a homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns about their uneven and unsafe pool deck. Our inspection revealed soil movement and surface cracks as the main causes. To fix the issue, we used NexusPro® Joint Sealant to close cracks and protect against water damage, followed by our PolyLevel® system to lift and stabilize the sunken slabs. After injecting the expanding foam beneath the concrete, the deck was restored to a smooth, level, and secure surface. The result was a safer, long-lasting solution that gave the homeowner peace of mind and a renewed outdoor space.

Homeowner in Purcellville, VA had been dealing with basement flooding for 10 years! There were signs of water intrusion in the form of watermarks on the walls and the floors. They needed this problem solved permanently because they wanted to finish the basement and turn it into a rental space. They knew that finishing the space without fixing the problem would lead to further issues and they couldn't in good conscious let someone rent and live in it. Water can cause damage to the walls and personal belongings, cause mold to grow, and affect the air quality of the basement and the rest of the home. The homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions for help. System designer Caleb Stone went out and gave them a free estimate and proposed a solution. They trusted Caleb's knowledge and expertise and accepted Fortress's help. Foreman Clarence Copeland and crew went out and installed a full perimeter system with our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain. WaterGuard is the best choice for waterproofing a basement. It's installed below the floor slab and rests on top of the foundation footing which keeps it from potentially getting clogged by mud. WaterGuard is installed with minimal invasion of the slab and all concrete is restored after. This system flows into our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which has two pumps capable of pumping up to 6,120 gallons of water per hour. In the case of a power outage, a third pump runs on a battery backup and can pump up to 11,500 gallons per hour. This job was finished off with our CleanSpace wall to give the basement a bright and clean look for finishing in the future. This homeowner can now do any renovations to the basement they want and can be sure it will be protected! 

Before calling us, the homeowner in Tuscarora, MD, faced a significant challenge with a large, unsettling crack splitting their concrete garage slab right down the middle, as you can see in the left photo. After our expert team stepped in, we used PolyLevel and NexusPro to not only mend the crack but also ensure a smooth, level surface. Notice in the right photo, the transformation is clear: a once damaged garage now seamlessly restored. At Fortress Foundation Solutions, we're committed to turning structural woes into wins with durable, effective solutions.

Brian, a homeowner in Vienna, VA, took one look into his crawl space and knew he needed to call a professional. He saw mold, smelled musty odors caused by excess moisture, and noticed his floor joists were beginning to crumble when touched.

After a quick Google search, he found Fortress Foundation Solutions and scheduled a free inspection online. Matt, one of our experienced System Designers, confirmed high moisture levels, organic growth, and deteriorating floor joists caused by prolonged moisture exposure.

To permanently address the problem, Matt recommended a complete crawl space encapsulation system, including SilverGlo® insulation, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a SaniDry Sedona® dehumidifier, and supplemental beams with SmartJacks® to stabilize the floors by transferring the home's weight from weakened wood to durable steel supports.

Nick and his crew completed the installation, giving Brian cleaner air throughout his home, a dry and usable crawl space for storage, and a stable foundation he can rely on for years to come.

Homeowner, John in Vienna Virginia noticed a vertical crack all throughout his front porch. as seen in the before photo. he knew that if he didnt seal the crack water would trickle in and casuse soil erosion and eventually sink. he reached out to Fortress as a preventative measure. Cara came out to evaluate the crack and noted very little soil eroison occuring under the slab and the homeowner was adament on just sealing the crack to prevent further void. John agreed with caras solution. Ethan and Samuel came out shortly after to properly seal the crack with a flexible, UV resistant caulk called nexus. now they homeowner has no worries and it looks better.
