This house in Kearneysville had bowing and cracking walls. The problems were cause by the house sinking and settling over time. Fortress came out to this home and recommended PowerBrace Supports inside the basement and Push Piers on the outside. The PowerBrace Supports can be adjusted over time to straighten overtime. After installing the PowerBrace Supports and Push Piers, the homeowner felt much more secure in their home!
In Kearneysville, this homeowner faced sagging floors caused by weakened floor joists. As shown in the before photo, the inadequate support was concerning. We resolved this issue using the SmartJack® System, expertly installed by our team at Fortress Foundation Solutions. The customizable galvanized steel columns and 12-inch steel bases stabilized and elevated the crawl space beams and floor joists, restoring the floor’s original elevation and strength, as demonstrated in the after photo. Our reliable solution expertly addresses and resolves concerns related to weakened floors, providing peace of mind for homeowners.
This basement in Amissville had an outdated and cheap waterproofing system that did not really work. The basement would still flood during heavy rains. Fortress removed the old system and installed a new one which included WaterGuard with a TripleSump system to prevent any future flooding.
This basement in Amissville had water stains from repeated flooding. Fortress was able to solve this issue by installing a full perimeter WaterGuard with a TripleSafe Sump System. Now the basement will never flood again!
The basement of this home in Amissville had water seeping in along the foundation with rain. The homeowner reached out to Fortress for a solution to this problem.
Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to evaluate this home and recommended installing our WaterGuard XL system, along with our CleanSpace Wall System, and a TripleSafe sump pump.
Our WaterGuard System is designed to capture any wall or floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor, any water will then drain to the TripleSafe and be pumped out of the home. Together these products will ensure that this homeowner will never have to worry about a wet basement again!
