Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

In Washington Grove, a homeowner turned to us with a common issue: a persistently wet basement evident in the 'before' photo. The culprit? Inadequate drainage causing water seepage problems. Our team addressed this by implementing a tailor-made $project using our specialized WaterGuard system and TripleSafe Sump Pump. Now, as shown in the 'after' photo, that once imperiled space is a dry, secure foundation. Our effective perimeter drainage channels water away seamlessly, complementing the TripleSafe system’s power to effectively manage even extraordinary volumes and outages with triple-layer protection.

Paul H. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing musty smells coming from his crawl space. After investigating, he discovered mildew and moisture beginning to damage his wooden floor joists and falling down, moisture-saturated insulation. System Designer Skylar Beverage met with Paul, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation and CleanSpace vapor barrier. The CleanSpace keeps out moisture and the SilverGlo insulates to keep the home warm in winter and cool in the summer. Paul has now protected his most important asset - his home!

The homeowner in Lorton, VA observed uneven floors throughout their residence. Upon contacting Fortress Foundation Solutions, our team promptly dispatched a System Designer to assess the situation. After a thorough examination, it was determined that the most effective remedy would be the installation of our SmartJack System.

After acquiring a rental property with a damp crawl space, this homeowner sought assistance from Fortress Foundation Solutions. Faced with recurring calls from tenants regarding the issue, they desired a lasting resolution. Chris Wilmouth, System Designer, conducted a thorough inspection of the crawl space and proposed a solution comprising encapsulation, a Smart Sump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The Smart Sump ensures water removal, the SaniDry Sedona maintains low humidity levels, and the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier effectively blocks ground moisture, eliminating mildew and musty odors. With these improvements in place, the landlord can now enjoy peace of mind without the burden of frequent tenant complaints.
