Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

The basement of this home in Glade Hill had cinder block foundation walls that had started to bow. The homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to get those walls stabilized before it became a more severe issue.

Our System Designer went out to assess this home and determined that the best solution would be to install the PowerBrace Wall Repair System. The PowerBrace System is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel i-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position and can be tightened over time to make bowing or tilting walls straighter. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing that their foundation walls are supported and stabilized!

The homeowners in Montvale,VA had started to notice stair stepped cracks in the basement wall of their home. The also noticed the wall was beginning to bow.

After calling Fortress our System Designer was able to go out to this home and provide  a free no obligate estimate. Once the inspection of the home was complete , our System Designer knew the best solution to this issue would be PowerBraces.

Powerbraces are installed up against the foundation wall to provide support. This helps to prevent the wall from coming in anymore. 

A proud home owner in Buchanan, VA wanted to create a usable area in their crawl space. They called Fortress Foundation Solutions to do just that! System Designer Caleb Stone introduced them to our Crawl Space Encapsulation Process using a Clean Space Vapor Barrier System with Silver Glow Insulation on the walls and a Sani Dry Sedona Dehumidifier. Foreman Charlie Evans and his production crew did a great job installing the system in a timely manner to create a space that is available for them to use comfortably.    

This Thaxton homeowner had problems in both his basement and crawlspace. Both were exceptionally dirty and very moist. The crawlspace had begun to grow mold, so the homeowner decided it was definitely time to do something about his water issues. The homeowner asked if we could come in and fix his water drainage problems and reinsulated his basement and crawlspace in order to leave it clean, mold free, and much more energy efficient. Fortress Foundation Solutions had solutions for all of these proposed problems. First thing that had to be done was the removal of all debris and insulation from the basement and crawlspace. Naturally we removed the debris, but the insulation was also taken out because Fortress planned to install CleanSpace, which is a much better and more efficient way to insulate your crawlspace or basement (or both). CleanSpace was applied to the basement walls and the crawlspace. Drain matting was used in addition to the CleanSpace in the crawlspace to help eliminate the unwanted water that was causing the perfect environment for mold to grow in.

This customer called Fortress Foundation Solutions concerned about the excessive amount of water coming in through their walls into their basement. Fortress solved the homeowners problems by installing our WaterGaurd system. The WaterGaurd system ensures the customer that the water that is seeping in through the walls will drain directly into their sump pump. Fortress left this job with a dry basement and one happy customer!
