This homeowner in Salem reached out to Fortress because their foundation had started to settle.
One corner of their home had started to sink so they needed a permanent solution to lift the corner of their home back up to prevent further damage. Fortress did just that by installing our Interior PushPiers!
Our PushPier systems are made of steel and are driven deep into the soil beneath a foundation to solve settlement problems. Push piers can be installed inside or outside your foundation walls and are not visible once the repair is complete. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing their foundation is supported and stabilized!
This homeowner in Salem had water seeping into the basement with rain. They reached out to Fortress for a solution to this problem.
Fortress went out and installed our WaterGuard System along the perimeter of the basement, along with a SuperSump sump pump. These products will work together as a permanent solution to keeping this basement dry!
This homeowner in Salem reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had been dealing with water intrusion issues for years, and wanted that problem fixed once and for all.
After having our System Designer out to assess this home and determine the best waterproofing solution, Fortress sent our Foreman and his crew out to do the job. The crew installed our WaterGuard System along the perimeter basement walls, along with a TripleSafe Sump Pump System and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. These products will work together to keep this basement dry by catching any water seepage, and pumping it out of the home and into the yard a safe distance away from the foundation. This homeowner will never have to worry about a wet basement again!
Dennis was facing major foundation issues at his Salem home, including settlement along the front of the house and a large horizontal crack in a basement wall that had begun to bow inward. The structural movement had become a serious concern and required immediate attention to prevent further damage.
Toby and his crew installed a comprehensive foundation repair system to stabilize the home. Six Helical Piers were installed to support the settling foundation, while 16 GeoLock™ Wall Anchors and 7 PowerBrace™ Wall Support Beams were used to reinforce and stabilize the bowing basement wall. As shown in the after photos, the home is now structurally secure and protected from further settlement and wall movement for the long term.
Peggy had previously encapsulated her crawl space with Fortress Foundation Solutions but chose to wait on adding a drainage system and sump pump. A few years later, she decided to complete the project and add the extra protection needed to better manage water beneath her Salem home.
Scott and his crew carefully removed sections of the existing CleanSpace® liner and installed an EZ Flow drainage system along with a TripleSafe™ sump pump. Once the new components were in place, the liner was reinstalled to maintain the integrity of the encapsulation system. As shown in the after photos, Peggy's crawl space now has enhanced protection against water intrusion and a more complete moisture management solution.
