This home near Monrovia, MD had water coming in the basement where the driveway ran alongside the house. Over several years the driveway had dropped leaving a gap. The homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate. A System Designer met with them, inspecting the area and offering a free estimate for repair. With our PolyLevel system, Fortress is able to lift and level the driveway. Once our PolyLevel crew was onsite, they were able to raise up the driveway and seal the gap with NexusPro. Now, this homeowner doesn't have water coming into their home any more!
This Fairfax Station, VA homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions after growing tired of cleaning up water coming in through basement wall cracks. They were able to meet with Riley Ethier who provided a same-day, free estimate. Ready for a solution, they wanted to move forward with the wall repairs. Foreman Nick Mori was soon at their home installing several FlexiSpans. A FlexiSpan is a flexible sealant that will never dry or crack and can flex with the natural movement of the basement wall, ensuring a completely waterproofed seal. Now this Crestridge Rd, Fairfax Station, VA homeowner does not have to worry about water coming into the basement any more!
A customer was experiencing water entering the basement and water vapor/humidity issues. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a full perimeter WaterGuard system with a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to address the water entering the basement. The CleanSpace wall system and Sedona Dehumidification System was added to address the water vapor/moisture issues.
Kai J. reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after discovering standing water and moisture beginning to damage his wooden floor joists. Moisture-saturated insulation was also falling down in his crawl space. How could this be happening? He had laid down plastic over the ground and thought his crawl space would be protected. Many people don't think about the effects moisture has as it rises from the ground under their homes. If left untreated, the moisture will cause thousands of dollars' worth of damage in the future. Our Fortress System Designers help educate customers on protecting their home by providing printed materials, using video media, through conversation, and of course, providing a free estimate for repair. Kai's crawl space needed EZ Flow drainage, a Smart Sump Sump Pump, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. EZ Flow directs groundwater to the Smart Sump, which pumps the water outside the home. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier seals off the home from the damp/wet ground below. The SaniDry Sedona removes excess moisture, keeping the area dry and protecting the wood. Kai's home is his biggest asset. Why wouldn't he want to protect it with a custom solution from Fortress Foundation Solutions?"
In this Vienna home, the crawl space was plagued with dampness and mold, a common issue due to excess moisture. The problems were evident in sagging insulation and musty odors creeping upstairs. As seen in the before photo, the state of the crawl space compromised overall home health and energy efficiency. Our solution? We installed the CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system, transforming the space into a clean, dry environment. The high-quality materials ensure durability and mold resistance, providing the homeowner with lasting peace of mind and maintaining structural integrity.
