Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Kai J. reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after discovering standing water and moisture beginning to damage his wooden floor joists. Moisture-saturated insulation was also falling down in his crawl space. How could this be happening? He had laid down plastic over the ground and thought his crawl space would be protected. Many people don't think about the effects moisture has as it rises from the ground under their homes. If left untreated, the moisture will cause thousands of dollars' worth of damage in the future. Our Fortress System Designers help educate customers on protecting their home by providing printed materials, using video media, through conversation, and of course, providing a free estimate for repair. Kai's crawl space needed EZ Flow drainage, a Smart Sump Sump Pump, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. EZ Flow directs groundwater to the Smart Sump, which pumps the water outside the home. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier seals off the home from the damp/wet ground below. The SaniDry Sedona removes excess moisture, keeping the area dry and protecting the wood. Kai's home is his biggest asset. Why wouldn't he want to protect it with a custom solution from Fortress Foundation Solutions?"

Michael was concerned about his sinking patio. The under-patio drainage system was aging and had started to wash away the dirt causing the slab to sink and pull away from the retaining wall. System Designer Riley Ethier, came out to complete an inspection and provide a free estimate. He determined that our PolyLevel Injection Foam would be able to lift the patio and restore it back to the original height. Our PolyLevel crew soon came out and successfully lifted the patio by drilling small holes in the concrete, inserting  foam and then patching the holes. Michael was pleased with the results! 

Stephanie S. of Burke, VA had a waterproofing system installed by Fortress Foundation Solutions three years prior. However, during the time after, multiple power outages left her without a working sump pump. She knew who to call for the solution - Fortress! Todd Simmons, System Designer, was happy to meet with her again and present an estimate for our Triple Safe - battery back up sump pump. Stephanie was ready to say yes - ready for the sump pump to work even if the power were to go out. Now when it rains, this homeowner sleeps well at night knowing her Triple Safe sump pump is humming in the basement keeping her home dry!

A customer in Damascus, MD called in complaining of basement water issues. Fortress Foundation Solutions was able to help by installing the Supersump sump pump and the WaterGuard floor drainage system with Trench Drain to address water in the basement area of the home. This customer chose to protect the full perimeter of the home, ensuring that all the water would be caught eliminating any future headaches.

Ian D., of Potomac, MD, noticed his basement walls bowing more and more. He also had stairstep cracks in the walls that were growing. He called the foundation experts - Fortress Foundation Solutions!  A System Designer met with him and provided a free estimate to permanently stabilize his walls: a Carbon Armor Wall System. These straps are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against the basement wall. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite preparing the basement walls by grinding down strips. Next, heavy epoxy was applied to the walls and the carbon straps attached. ArmorLock brackets bind and secure the CarbonArmor straps to floor joists making the CarbonArmor solution fast, non-invasive, and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls. Now this Potomac homeowner can sleep better at night knowing his walls are stabilized!
