Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner near Centreville, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing the concrete settling in front of this doorway. Over time, rain water can wash away the underlying dirt, causing a drop which often results in a tripping hazard. System Designer Chris Wilmouth was happy to meet with the homeowner, providing an inspection and free estimate. Soon, the Fortress PolyLevel crew arrived at the home and began their work. They drilled small holes at measured intervals into the concrete, filling these holes with PolyLevel until the concrete was lifted to the desired height. Once leveled, the tiny holes were filled, with NexusPro applied over the crack making it barely noticeable. Now, this Centreville family can come and go safely!

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a WaterGuard french drain system that connected two rooms, CleanSpace wall system, and TripleSafe sump pump.

This basement in Poolesville had water seeping up through the foundation when it rained. The old sump pump stopped working and the basement was having flooding issues once again. The homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions to solve this problem. After assessing the home, Fortress determined that a full-perimeter WaterGuard, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier were the best solution. The WaterGuard will catch any water coming in and channel it to the TripleSafe where it will be pumped out of the basement. This homeowner no longer has to worry about a wet basement!

A homeowner near Sterling VA, called Fortress Foundation Solutions after discovering moisture issues in his crawl space. Efflorescence had built up on the walls from years of moisture seeping through the block. Our System Designer, Riley Ethier, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon foreman Warren Dickerson and his crew were onsite installing drainage matting, and CleanSpace vapor barrier. The CleanSpace keeps out moisture protecting the wood joists keeping the space dry!

Leigh P. of Sterling, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions after her sump pump was not taking care of the water in the basement and was creating high moisture levels. Bad odors from stagnant water would wander out of the open pump pit into the basement as well. She met with System Designer Paul Heckman, who completed an inspection and offered a same-day proposal. Ready for a permanent solution, Leigh agreed. Clarence Copeland 'Cope' and his crew installed a WaterGuard drainage system so all water entering the home flows to the Triple Safe sump pump. The Triple Safe sump pump has a closed lid so moisture and bad odors aren't released from the sump pump. Now Leigh has the dry and odor free basement she always wanted!
