This homeowner in Galax contacted Fortress with concerns about their home's foundation. Stair-step cracks is an indicator of foundation sinking and settling. System Designer, Chris Guill, went out for a full evaluation. He determined the home needed foundation repair.
Our crew installed 10 Push Piers to lift and stabilize that foundation. Push Piers are installed next to the footings and attached with a heavy duty steel brackets. Soil is backfilled around the piers once stabilization and lifting is complete to finish the installation.
Robert E. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after the patio where his hot tub is located had dropped and cracked. He did not want anyone tripping or falling! System Designer, Chris Guill, was happy to provide a free estimate to lift and level the patio. PolyCrew leader, Tim Gregorin, used his expertise to carefully inject PolyLevel foam into the slab and apply NexusPro to fill the cracks. Now Robert and his family can enjoy their hot tub again without stubbed toes or twisted ankles!
In the before photo, taken in a Galax home, you can see what an unencapsulated Crawl Space looks. The uncovered zone invited high humidity levels, a likely source of musty odors and increased energy bills. For the after solution, we installed our CleanSpace system, SilverGlo insulation, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. As visible in the transformation, these reduced surplus moisture and fortified insulation – ensuring a dry area beneath the home.
In the "before" photo, see the issues in Mr. Jackson's vented crawl space in Galax, Virginia – notice dampness and humidity contribute to problems like mold growth and structural damage. In the "after" photo, observe the transformation by our team at Fortress Foundation Solutions. We effectively secured the area with our CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system, eliminating moisture risks with premium products specially designed for high performance. Our CleanSpace® liner’s antimicrobial finish and multi-layer design ensure long-lasting protection, improving air quality and overall home efficiency. Witness the Fortress difference in a renewed, dry foundation.
In the before photo, Cory’s basement in Galax, Virginia is clearly dealing with moisture issues. Water was seeping in, leaving damp spots and making the space uncomfortable and at risk for damage.
To solve the problem, we installed a full waterproofing system. In the “after” photo, you can see the WaterGuard drainage system in place, directing water away from the basement. We paired it with a TripleSafe sump pump for dependable protection against flooding. We also added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep humidity in check and improve air quality.
Now, Cory’s basement is dry, cleaner, and much more usable.
