In Locust Grove, the homeowner faced issues with moisture and structural instability in their crawl space. Notice in the before photo, dampness was evident, which can lead to mold growth and wood rot. Our team at Fortress Foundation Solutions resolved these concerns by installing the CleanSpace system and SmartJack. The CleanSpace encapsulation tackled unknown moisture sources, providing a durable vapor barrier. Meanwhile, the SmartJack system addressed floor instability by stabilizing and reinforcing the crawl space structure. See the after photo illustrating how a safe, dry environment can now support this home’s foundation dependably and effectively.
The foundation walls of this home in Broad Run were starting to bow. The homeowner reached out to Fortress for a permanent solution for stabilizing those walls.
Our System Designer, Zach Bullock, went out to assess the home and recommended our PowerBrace System to support and stabilize the foundation.
The PowerBrace system permanently stabilizes 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.

This customer was tired of their home suffering from sagging floors & decided to reach out to Fortress Foundation Solutions for an estimate. We sent out a system designer who did an inspection of the home and gave a proposal and quote to the homeowner. We utilized our SmartJack® crawl space support system for this project. The SmartJacks provide a solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space.
This finished basement needed waterproofing after a flooding incident. The flooring and an old sump pump was removed. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter WaterGuard Drainage System, Triple Safe Sump Pump System with external discharge, and a SaniDry Dehumidifier. We use plastic sheeting to keep our customers' homes clean and tidy while we work.
