Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Luke Q., a homeowner near Marshall, VA, reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions. His basement was unsightly, damp and water came in with rain storms making it unusable. He met with a System Designer who provided the solution of a WaterGuard System with an Ultra 4 Sump Pump. The WaterGuard is a channel drainage system installed in a trench around the basement perimeter. Any water entering the basement flows through the WaterGuard directly to the Ultra Sump Pump and is pumped out and away from the home. Luke also chose to have CleanSpace installed on the walls. This antimicrobial vapor barrier channels any water entering the walls down and into the WaterGuard where it is pumped out. The white color brightens the space as well. Now Luke has the option to use his basement for anything he chooses - it is dry, clean and light!

Tom K. had taken a look in his crawl space to see about some plumbing repairs and was shocked by the stinky, musty smell coming from it. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate. A System Designer met with Tom, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The CleanSpace is in place to seal the home from the damp earth. Moisture and its damaging effects on the wood structure of the home are kept out. The final step is the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. It removes moisture from the air keeping the crawl space dry. When Tom looks into his crawl space now, it is clean, dry and he knows his home is protected!

Will G. of Charles Town, WV wanted to finish his basement, however water was coming into his basement with every rain. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions and made an appointment. A System Designer performed an inspection and using his moisture meter, could measure the high levels. He was able to give her a free estimate for a FlexiSpan. This is a flexible sealant that will never dry or crack and ensures a waterproof seal. Soon a Fortress Crew was at the home, and in a few hours the project was complete. Now when it rains, Will knows his basement will stay dry!

Chris L. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after hearing great things from a friend. His stone foundation leaked leading to mold and musty smells. A System Designer, met with him, explained the solution Fortress could provide, and offered him a same-day estimate. Eager to reclaim the use of his basement, he agreed. Shortly after, a crew was on-site installing a WaterGuard drainage system, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a Triple Safe Sump Pump. Now, any water entering the home is drained to the Triple Safe and pumped out. Happy to be able to use his basement again, Chris is recommending Fortress to other friends.

Sarah H. noticed the floors in her home had started to sag and become bouncy. Concerned, she called Fortress Foundation Solutions. A System Designer was happy to meet with her to address her concerns. Sagging floors are a common problem often indicating a serious structural problem that will worsen over time. These conditions can make floors unsafe, while also causing unsightly cracks in wallboard and beneath baseboard molding. The best way to permanently fix sagging floor problems is to install SmartJack XT posts beneath the beam that supports your floor joists. After hearing this, Sarah was ready to get the work done, and soon a Fortress crew was at her home installing the SmartJacks XT. Now Sarah and her family can enjoy their structurally safe house!
