This homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions due to water intrusion in their basement. Fortress sent out one of our expert system designers to preform an inspection of the home and come up with a solution to give the homeowner peace of mind. After presenting our findings and a quote, this homeowner decided to invest in a full perimeter waterproofing system to protect their home. Our installation crews installed our WaterGuard waterproofing system and our CleanSpace Vapor barrier to the walls of the basement. This customer can rest easy knowing their house is protected by the best products in the industry, all backed by our warranties!
This home in Swoope had a crawl space that was wet and musty, and needed some help!
Our System Designer, Jamey Elder, went out to assess this crawl space and recommended that the best solution would be to install a complete CleanSpace encapsulation, along with a SmartSump sump pump and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.
Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is designed to permanently prevent moisture and outside air from getting into your crawlspace. Together, these products will ensure that this crawl space will remain clean and dry!
This crawlspace in Swoope had bad flooding every time it rained. Fortress solved this issue by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation with a SmartSump System and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. With this system in place, this crawlspace will stay clean and dry during every storm!
This home was experiencing main level sagging floors, cracks in the walls, and floors separating from walls. There was also issues with water in the crawlspace, humidity and mold in the home. Upon inspection, we found falling insulation, rotting and moldy joists, and a basic, ineffective plastic sheet on the ground. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry dehumidifer, a total CleanSpace encapsulation, replaced the rotting joists, and installed SmartJacks for a permanent water-free and structurally stable home.
This is the beginning phase of one of our recent projects. The homeowner's request was for Fortress Foundation Solutions to fix the floors and dirt basement area of her home.
Our production team cleared out the area and leveled the dirt floor. CleanSpace encapsulation system was installed to isolate the house from the ground helping to control tempature and moisture within the space. Smart Jacks replaced wooden supports to lift and stabilize the beams and floor joists. The threaded rods within the steel comuns allowed for adjustment and custom fit for each Smart Jack installed. The Super Sump plus pumping system was installed to keep water draining away from the area. With the high-end 1/3 horsepower Zoeller pump, this system has the best pump available, pumping nearly 2650 gallons of water an hour. The patented SuperLiner has an airtight lid to prevent debris from getting in and moisture and odors from getting out. This sump system also includes the WaterWatch alarm system that will sound if water rises above the point where pump should turn on to alert of any potential problems before damage occurs. The transformation of this area now provides additional storage and a clean, protected environment for the homeowner.
