Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

The basement of this home in Fork Union had water intrusion issues. The homeowner reached out to Fortress to see what could be done to resolve this issue.

Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to assess this home and determined that the best solution would be to install our WaterGuard XL System along the perimeter of the basement, along with a SuperSump sump pump.

Our WaterGuard System is designed to capture any wall or floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor, any water will then drain to the SuperSump and be pumped out of the home. Together these products will ensure that this homeowner will never again have to worry about a wet basement!

Fortress Foundation Solutions raked and leveled this customer's crawlspace, removed old, ineffective black plastic barrier, and removed falling insulation. We then installed drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, FoamMax insulation, a TripleSafe sump pump with external discharge, and a SaniDry dehumidifier. The quality of our work ensures a trouble-free crawlspace!

A homeowner near Bunker Hill, WV, reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing the severe settling of the walkway to his front door. Over time, a significant tripping hazard had developed. A System Designer was happy to meet with him, conducting an inspection and providing a same-day estimate. Ready for a safe front walkway, the homeowner agreed! Soon, the Fortress PolyLevel crew arrived at the home and began their work. They drilled small holes at measured intervals into the concrete, filling these holes with PolyLevel until the walkway was lifted to the desired height. Once leveled, the tiny holes were filled, and the sidewalk was restored to its original state. Now, the homeowner and his family can confidently walk on the sidewalk without the fear of tripping!

In Castleton, VA, we tackled a homeowner's challenge with a severely deflected wall. The bowing wall is clearly visible in the photo. They called Fortress Foundation Solutions to request a free consultation. System Designer Danny Camunas went out to perform an inspection. In his free estimate, he recommended our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. This state-of-the-art solution for bowing and cracking foundation walls incorporates the same technology the Army Corps of Engineers uses to reinforce bomb shelters, skyscrapers and bridges. The CarbonArmor System includes flexible carbon fiber straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. Using high strength epoxy, the straps are bonded to the interior face of the basement wall. This system installs quickly inside, requires no outside excavation and won't impact future basement finishing. Now this homeowner can feel secure knowing their basement walls will not bow any more!

This homeowner on near Flint Hill, VA, reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions when the water entering her basement became increasingly problematic. The corners were very moldy and the mold was growing. System Designer Caleb Stone met with her, explained the solution Fortress could provide, and offered her a free estimate. Eager to reclaim the use of her basement, she agreed. Shortly after, Clarence Copeland (Cope) and his crew were on-site installing a WaterGuard drainage system, Triple Safe Sump Pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Now, any water entering the home is drained to the Triple Safe and pumped out. The SaniDry dehumidifier maintains low moisture levels in the basement, reducing the risk of mildew and eliminating musty odors. Happy to be able to use their basement again, Fortress loves to help our customers have safe and healthy homes!
