Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This home in Knoxville had foundation walls that were cracked and bowed, concerning the homeowner. They reached out to Fortress for a solution to stabilize and support their foundation.

Fortress went out and installed our PowerBrace System. The PowerBraces permanently stabilize your home's foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fit to your basement wall height and secured tight against your basement wall with brackets anchored to your basement floor and floor joists. PowerBrace's unique, patented design allows the system to be tightened over time, potentially reversing wall failure without any invasive drilling or digging on the property. Fortress also replaced the old ceiling insulation that was moldy with spray foam insulation. It is a better insulator and mold proof. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing that their foundation is stabilized and insulated!

A customer near Rohrersville, MD had a horizontal crack all the way around their basement. They learned about Fortress Foundation Solutions on a TV commercial and decided to call the All Things Basementy company for a free estimate. Danny Camunas, System Designer, completed a thorough inspection offering a permanent solution. Wanting to protect their home, they agreed. Soon David Bowers and his crew were onsite installing our PowerBrace™ system, consisting of steel I beams secured to joists above the wall with steel brackets. It can stop further damage and potentially straighten walls. The after photo shows the PowerBraces in place providing the stabilization this foundation needed. Now the homeowners can rest assured, knowing their home is protected!

Our client in Bumpass, VA, was dealing with sagging floors as well as moisture in her crawlspace. She called Fortress to ensure her home was taken care of from start to finish. System Designer, Chris Wilmouth, diagnosed the issues she was experiencing and created the perfect solution for her home. Foreman Travis Farmer and his crew installed a SmartJack system to deal with her sagging floors and then followed it up with CleanSpace to encapsulate and a SaniDry unit to keep the crawlspace dry and clean.

A homeowner in Hamilton, VA had easy access to their crawl space for storage. However, musty smells and overwhelming moisture limited items they could store. The falling down, moisture-saturated insulation was a big negative. System Designer Todd SImmons met with them, inspected the crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation and CleanSpace vapor barrier. The CleanSpace keeps out moisture and the SilverGlo insulates to keep the home warm in winter and cool in the summer. Now this home is climate protected and has plenty of clean storage space!

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed drainage matting, CleanSpace Walls, FoamMax Insulation, a SaniDry Dehumidifier, and moved the existing sump to a better location.
