This client was worried about his broken, sunken concrete becoming a tripping hazard at his elderly mother's home, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions to give him an estimate on repairing it. We sent out our System Designer, Caleb Stone, who did a thorough inspection and gave the client a quote. After the customer accepted, we sent out our Poly Crew, Mickey Knight and Dominique "Dom" Wells to fix the issue. They injected our PolyLevel Foam under the broken concrete to make it level, then sealed the cracks with our NexusPro Crack Repair. Our client loved his new, level concrete!
This client already had a sump pump installed in crawl space, but was looking to make his crawl space even drier with a vapor barrier, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our System Designer, Chris Wilmouth, went out and gave him and estimate, which our client accepted, and shortly after, Charlie Evans and his crew went out and put down our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier all along the inside of the crawlspace. Our client loved the result and look of his clean, dry crawl space!
In Waynesboro, Lucille had been noticing ongoing moisture issues in her 1,500-square-foot crawl space. The area remained damp and unprotected, creating concerns about mold growth, poor air quality, and potential structural damage beneath the home. During our inspection, we found standing moisture and poor drainage contributing to the unhealthy conditions in the crawl space.
Warren and his crew installed a complete moisture control system to permanently protect the crawl space. An EZ Flow drainage system was added to collect and direct water away from the area, while a SuperSump® system was installed to efficiently remove any incoming water.
To fully seal the space, the crew installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier throughout the crawl space to block out ground moisture and create a dry, controlled environment. SilverGlo™ insulation was also added along the walls to improve energy efficiency and help regulate temperatures year-round.
As shown in the after photos, the crawl space is now clean, dry, and fully protected. Lucille can now enjoy greater peace of mind knowing the space beneath her home is sealed, healthier, and built for long-term protection.
This customer called Fortress Foundation Solutions to get an estimate on a full crawl space encapsulation. Skylar, one of our expert System Designers went out to the property to preform an inspection and provide the customer a quote. After review the proposal and asking a few follow up questions, this customer felt confident that Fortress was the right company to do the work.
A few weeks later one of our crews went out and completed the work. We installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier system to the crawl space, along with a Sedona Dehumidifier system to keep the moisture at bay! This customer was very happy with the end result and is glad to have his crawl space clean and dry!
Trey in South Boston, Virginia was dealing with more than just a few foundation cracks—his basement walls were noticeably bowing inward, and it was getting worse over time. It had reached a point where the problem couldn’t be put off any longer.
After inspecting the basement, we found that pressure from the surrounding soil had caused significant movement in several walls. This called for a larger, more permanent stabilization solution.
Our crew installed a GeoLock wall anchor system to reinforce the affected walls. In total, 24 anchors were placed to provide even, reliable support. Each anchor extends from the basement wall into stable soil outside, helping counteract the pressure and hold the walls in place.
By the time the job was complete, the walls were stabilized and no longer at risk of continuing to move. For Trey, it meant peace of mind knowing the issue was properly handled and his home is now secure.
