Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Emilio E. had taken a look in his crawl space to see about some plumbing 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. System Designer Caleb Stone met with Emilio, 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 Emilio looks into his crawl space now, it is clean, dry and he knows his home is protected!

Crawl Space Encapsulation with drainage matting and CleanSpace. WaterGuard and sump pump installed in basement and discharged through the crawlspace. Power braces were used for foundation support and new Sunhouse windows were installed on the front of the house. 

This Great Falls, VA homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions after cracks in the basement walls and water coming in the cracks became unmanageable. He was unable to use his basement for storage as the items became moldy. Our system designer recommended a basement water proofing system. Eager to reclaim the space, the homeowner proceeded. Soon a water proofing crew was onsite installing WaterGuard drainage, a Triple Safe Sump Pump and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on the walls. The CleanSpace is antimicrobial and directs all water seeping through the walls down into the WaterGuard. It is then drained to the sump pump and pumped out of the home. Now this Great Falls, VA basement is dry and the space usable again!

There is nothing worse than having water issues in your finished basement! This homeowner had noticed water on their walls and then coming up through their carpet.  They reached out to us to provide a permanent solution to ensure this would never happen again.
