This basement had an existing sump pump, which we removed and replaced with a TripleSafe.
This basement had damp floors with small puddles. Their painted-on sealant chipped away over time, which caused water to come through the walls. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter french drain and a TripleSafe sump pump system.
Gary S. of Paris, VA, called Fortress Foundation Solutions after his patio had dropped several inches. He met with Danny Camunas, system designer, who offered a same-day proposal to lift and stabilize the patio. Gary was ready to enjoy his outdoor area again and agreed. The next step was for the PolyLevel crew to come out, drill small holes into the concrete, inject PolyLevel foam and fill the holes back in. Now Gary and his family can enjoy their lifted and leveled patio again!
Gerald T. reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after discovering standing water and moisture beginning to damage his wooden floor joists. Moisture-saturated insulation was also falling down in his crawl space. How could this be happening? He had laid down plastic over the ground and thought his crawl space would be protected. Many people don't think about the effects moisture has as it rises from the ground under their homes. If left untreated, the moisture will cause thousands of dollars' worth of damage in the future. Our Fortress System Designers help educate customers on protecting their home by providing printed materials, using video media, through conversation, and of course, providing a free estimate for repair. Gerald's crawl space needed EZ Flow drainage, a Smart Sump Sump Pump, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. EZ Flow directs groundwater to the Smart Sump, which pumps the water outside the home. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier seals off the home from the damp/wet ground below. The SaniDry Sedona removes excess moisture, keeping the area dry and protecting the wood. Gerald's home is his biggest asset. Why wouldn't he want to protect it with his custom solution from Fortress Foundation Solutions?"
This Kenbridge, VA, homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions wanting a crawl space encapsulation. Due to their growing family they were looking for more storage space. Their crawl space was dark, damp, musty and the saturated insulation was falling down. System designer, Chris Wilmouth, was happy to meet with them, explain the encapsulation products and provide a free, same-day estimate. Ready to move forward, they agreed. Foreman, Warren Dickerson and his crew were soon onsite installing drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep things dry. Now this crawl space is dry and the homeowner can enter the clean and bright area for loads of added storage space!
