Timothy K. of Augusta, WV, contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing our yard sign while driving by. Unaware of any local crawl space repair services, Timothy sought help for his home's humidity and musty odor issues, which were deterring visitors. Upon System Designer Kurtis Toppert's evaluation, revealing standing water in his crawl space, Timothy promptly opted for a comprehensive encapsulation.
Service Technician Spencer Stottlemyer and his team swiftly tackled the challenge, leveling the soil and installing an exterior discharge line linked to our Super Safe Premier Sump Pump System, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons per hour. They then laid our drainage matting and Clean Space vapor barrier, offering a 25-year guarantee against damage.
Timothy expressed gratitude for the professionalism of the Fortress team. Now, a year later, his crawl space remains consistently dry and well-maintained.
In Oldtown, MD, a homeowner faced a troubling challenge with their basement—a bowing wall and stair-step cracks were allowing water to seep in. Notice in the photo how these issues could compromise the safety and health of their home. At Fortress Foundation Solutions, we are driven to create safe environments, so our team expertly installed the PowerBrace system to stabilize the wall and prevent further movement. Coupled with the WaterGuard drainage, CleanSpace liner, and TripleSafe sump pump, we've transformed their basement into a dry, stable, and secure space.
Is your sidewalk separating from your home? Fortress Foundation Solutions offers concrete services to help! At this property the sidewalk was pulling away from the foundation of the home. System Designer Chris Wilmouth sent our Concrete Crew, Mickey and Dom, out to lift the sidewalk back into place using our Poly Level Injection and sealing off the job by using Nexus Pro Joint Seal to ensure the cracks wouldn't be visible.
Concerned by rising energy bills and a persistent chill, a family in Paw Paw, WV discovered that their existing crawl space insulation was no longer effective. After receiving a trusted referral, they reached out to our team for a comprehensive solution.
Our experts identified moisture intrusion through gaps in the crawl space as the root cause. We installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier and SilverGlo insulation panels to seal and insulate the area, significantly enhancing energy efficiency and indoor air quality. To maintain optimal humidity levels, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was added—quietly ensuring dry, healthy air circulation throughout the home.
With their crawl space properly sealed and conditioned, the homeowners now enjoy a more comfortable living environment and reduced energy costs—proving that true home efficiency starts from the ground up.

After calling Fortress Foundation Solutions, setting an appointment, and receiving an inspection and recommendation from one of our system designers, David chose to accept our proposal to fix their foundation issues for good! We turned to our PowerBrace system to stabilize their walls against further bowing. PowerBraces are a great option for stabilizing walls and we're so glad that we were able to utilize them for our clients!
