Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Mary and John of Jessup, MD, noticed their basement walls bowing more and more. There was a horizontal crack at the top of the basement wall. They called the foundation experts - Fortress Foundation Solutions! A System Designer met with them and provided a free estimate to permanently stabilize the walls: our Carbon Armor System. 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. These straps are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against the basement wall. Now Mary and John sleep better at night knowing their walls are stabilized!

Jim E. of Jessup, MD, called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing musty smells coming from his crawl space. After investigating, he discovered pooling water and falling down, moisture-saturated insulation. System Designer Riley Ethier met with Jim, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate for an EZ FLow Drainage System, a Smart Sump Sump Pump, SilverGlo insulation, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. After speaking with Riley, Jim learned that the air in the crawl space flows upward into the home. He didn't want that musty, moldy air getting into his home and decided to move forward.

Soon foreman Ethan and his crew were onsite. They began by removing the old falling-down insulation. Next, they installed the EZFlow drainage that channels all water into the Super Sump Sump Pump. For insulation, SilverGlo was put up on the walls. Drainage matting and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier were put down sealing off the ground from the home, reducing moisture. The final step, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was added. It removes excess moisture from the air keeping mold, mildew and wood rot from forming. Now Jim knows the air flowing into his home is clean and healthy and his home is protected!

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a Super Sump Plus sump pump with WaterGuard to prevent futher flooding in the basement.

Austin R. contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions due to the settling of his front porch steps, resulting in noticeable gaps over time. System Designer Skylar Beverage promptly met with Austin, conducting a thorough inspection and offering a complimentary estimate. Eager for a solution, Austin agreed to proceed. The Fortress PolyLevel team swiftly arrived at the property and commenced work. Utilizing PolyLevel, they strategically drilled small holes into the concrete at intervals, filling them to lift the slab to the desired level. Following leveling, the holes were carefully filled, restoring the driveway to its original condition.

A homeowner in Merrifield, VA contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions regarding voids beneath their porch, resulting in sinking. They aimed to address the issue before it worsened.

Our Foreman promptly visited the site and employed our PolyLevel Injection System to fill the voids and raise the affected area to its initial level. The use of high-density, expanding polyurethane foam ensures waterproofing and long-lasting stability, eliminating concerns of washout.
