Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner near Waterford, VA, reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing the severe settling of the walkway by his front door. Over time, a significant tripping hazard had developed. A Fortress System Designer conducted an inspection and provided a free estimate. 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 be even with the brick again. Once leveled, the tiny holes were filled, and the sidewalk was restored to its original state. Now, this homeowner can confidently walk on the sidewalk without the fear of tripping!

This customer called Fortress Foundation Solutions to get a FREE inspection on their crawl space. They had started to notice sagging in their floors above and were concerned with the stability of their home. We sent Danny, one of our expert System Designers out to take a look and come up with a plan. After reviewing our findings with the customer, we went forward and installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to fully encapsulate the crawl space. We also installed two of our SmartJacks to the main beam, ensuring permanent support of the floors above.

James C. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after his installed sump pump was not taking care of the water in his basement, resulting in high moisture levels. He had tried to fix it himself, but his methods were unsuccessful. A System Designer completed an inspection and offered a free estimate. Ready for a permanent solution, James agreed. A Fortress waterproofing crew installed a WaterGuard drainage system so all water entering the home flows to the sump pump. The Triple Safe sump pump has a closed lid so moisture and bad odors aren't released from the sump pump and a battery back up. Now James has the dry basement he always wanted!

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation, FoamMax Insulation, a SaniDry Dehumidifier, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System with an external discharge.

Stephen K. had taken a look in his crawl space to see about some repairs. What he saw shocked him - mold and mildew on the woodwork, bugs and spider webs, falling down, moisture-saturated insulation, and stinky, musty smells. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate. A System Designer met with Stephen, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation, 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 SilverGlo is installed on the walls and insulates to keep the home warm in winter and cool in the summer. It is moisture resistant and won't get moldy or break down. The final step is the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. It removes moisture from the air keeping the crawl space dry. When Stephen looks into his crawl space now, it is clean, dry and he knows his home is protected!
