Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This Rockville homeowner's son noticed his mother's floor was sagging. Since she is disabled, he wanted to make sure she would be well taken care of. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate. System Designer Caleb Stone met with the homeowner and her son after completing a thorough inspection of the crawl space. What he found was a major drop along the main beam and one other wall running down the hallway, due to cracks in the beam. He recommended Smart Jacks and a supplemental beam. After answering all their questions, they agreed. Soon Foreman Scott Farmer and his crew were onsite installing the Smart Jacks and supplemental beam. Now this Rockville home is safe and sound again!

In Leesburg, a homeowner was troubled by persistent moisture in their crawl space, causing concerns about mold, wood rot, and high energy bills. As seen in the before photo, the damp and unprotected area posed a risk to the home's structure and indoor air quality. We addressed this issue with our CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system. In the after photo, notice how CleanSpace creates a dry, safe, and energy-efficient environment. Our high-performing system is specifically designed for effective crawl space moisture control, significantly enhancing the home’s foundation integrity.

A Point of Rocks, MD homeowner noticed water coming into his basement soon after purchasing his home. He attempted several fixes himself, but could not get the water to stop coming in. Over time, his flooring was ruined and he could no longer use the downstairs living area. Ready for a solution he called Fortress Foundation Solutions! Soon he was meeting with a system designer who inspected the basement, explained our products and provided a same day estimate all for no cost. Ready for a permanent fix, he agreed. A Fortress waterproofing crew set to work on the basement installing a WaterGuard drainage system and a TripleSafe Sump Pump. The WaterGuard catches any water that would try to come into the home and drains it to the TripleSafe. Our most powerful sump pump, the TripleSafe has two pumps and a third back-up pump connected to a battery in case of power failure. Now this Point of Rocks homeowner can enjoy his basement again knowing it will be dry!

Notice the significant difference in this home's basement in Point of Rocks. Initially suffering from a bowing wall, the homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions for a trusted repair. We addressed the structural concerns effectively by installing our advanced CarbonArmor® system. Using carbon fiber-reinforced polymers, significantly stronger than steel, we stabilized the wall with precision, ensuring its long-term safety and integrity. Our exclusive ArmorLock® brackets paired with these straps resulted in a solid, stabilized foundation. This non-invasive solution ensures the wall remains secure without further inward movement. 

Before diving into the visual transformation of this Catharpin, VA crawl space, let's tackle the problem: a homeowner plagued by falling insulation, pesky humidity levels, and uninvited critters taking refuge.

Making a turn for the amazing, the after photo underscores our tailored fix - employing CleanSpace to encapsulate and protect, paired with SaniDry Sedona ensuring a lasting, moisture-free, and inhospitable zone for pests.
