Homeowners in New Market, Maryland reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing mold and signs of water intrusion behind their finished basement walls, as seen in the before photo.
We sent out one of our awesome System Designers to perform a full evaluation, and even without a hygrometer, the moisture intrusion was clearly apparent.
Our skilled foreman Nick and his crew were able to permanently waterproof the basement while minimizing disruption to the finished walls and flooring as much as possible. Now, the homeowners can confidently refinish their basement without concerns about mold growth or having to go through this process again.
Two weeks after moving into their dream home in Fairfax Station, this homeowner was greeted by an unexpected challenge—water intrusion in their basement following a bout of rain and snow. Instead of letting discouragement take root, they turned to us for a solution. With precision and care, we installed our WaterGuard® system, expertly channeled to guide unwanted water to safety and ensure their basement remains a welcoming, dry space. As you notice in the after photo, stability and peace of mind are restored, showcasing the transformative power of readiness and resilience.
At a recent home show in Libertytown, MD, a homeowner shared concerns about sagging floors, launching us into action. As you can see in the before photo, their crawl space was in desperate need of care. Our team swept in with CleanSpace to seal and protect the area, SilverGlo insulation to keep temperatures steady, SaniDry Sedona for powerful dehumidification, and SmartJack for strong, secure floor support. The transformation, evident in the after photo, underscores our dedication to bringing peace of mind and reliability back into our customers' homes.
Homeowner, John in Vienna Virginia noticed a vertical crack all throughout his front porch. as seen in the before photo. he knew that if he didnt seal the crack water would trickle in and casuse soil erosion and eventually sink. he reached out to Fortress as a preventative measure. Cara came out to evaluate the crack and noted very little soil eroison occuring under the slab and the homeowner was adament on just sealing the crack to prevent further void. John agreed with caras solution. Ethan and Samuel came out shortly after to properly seal the crack with a flexible, UV resistant caulk called nexus. now they homeowner has no worries and it looks better.
Brian, a homeowner in Vienna, VA, took one look into his crawl space and knew he needed to call a professional. He saw mold, smelled musty odors caused by excess moisture, and noticed his floor joists were beginning to crumble when touched.
After a quick Google search, he found Fortress Foundation Solutions and scheduled a free inspection online. Matt, one of our experienced System Designers, confirmed high moisture levels, organic growth, and deteriorating floor joists caused by prolonged moisture exposure.
To permanently address the problem, Matt recommended a complete crawl space encapsulation system, including SilverGlo® insulation, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a SaniDry Sedona® dehumidifier, and supplemental beams with SmartJacks® to stabilize the floors by transferring the home's weight from weakened wood to durable steel supports.
Nick and his crew completed the installation, giving Brian cleaner air throughout his home, a dry and usable crawl space for storage, and a stable foundation he can rely on for years to come.
