In Spencer, a lakeside homeowner found mold spreading on their floor joists.

Concerned about indoor air quality, they called Fortress Foundation Solutions. We encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace®, added SilverGlo™ insulation, installed a TripleSafe™ sump pump, and used the SaniDry Sedona for humidity control.

The system worked perfectly—eliminating mold risk and improving overall air quality. The homeowner praised the professional, efficient work of Fortress Foundation Solutions.

A property owner in Virginia reached out to us after noticing a worsening crack in their basement wall. At the same time, they were dealing with ongoing water intrusion that made the space damp and unattractive. Wanting a true long-term solution, they contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions.

The inspection revealed substantial inward movement of the wall and clear signs of persistent groundwater seepage. Both issues were contributing to a declining foundation environment.

We installed the PowerBrace™ System to provide immediate stability to the compromised wall. These adjustable steel beams were precisely fitted and anchored to restore structural integrity.

To manage the water issues, we installed the WaterGuard® system beneath the floor line, allowing it to capture leaking water before it entered the basement. This routed directly to the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump.

The TripleSafe™, supported by the UltraSump™ backup pump, offered the homeowner reliable protection even in unexpected power outages.

Once the repairs were completed, the basement became a dry, safe space again. The homeowner was grateful to have a solution that addressed both structure and moisture with long-term reliability.

A Virginia homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after discovering standing water beneath their home during heavy rainfall. The damp crawl space had begun affecting indoor air quality and was raising concerns about the durability of floor joists and foundation supports.

Our System Design Specialist identified that water was entering through the soil and foundation and had no effective way to escape. Without a moisture barrier or drainage system, the crawl space remained damp for long periods.

To solve the problem, we installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to block moisture from entering the space. SilverGlo™ insulation was applied to the walls to improve thermal performance and prevent condensation. A TripleSafe™ sump pump system was installed to remove water before it could pool beneath the home.

After completion, the crawl space remained dry even during heavy rains. The homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their home was now protected from moisture-related damage and unhealthy conditions.

In another Virginia home, a finished basement had begun to show troubling signs of moisture damage. Stains appeared along the base of the walls, carpeting felt damp, and a persistent musty smell spread throughout the lower level. The homeowner was concerned not only about property damage but also about the potential impact on indoor air quality and their family’s health.

Our System Design Specialist conducted a detailed inspection and found that groundwater was seeping through the foundation walls and collecting at the floor joint. Without a proper drainage and moisture management system in place, the water had been slowly working its way into the finished areas of the basement.

To correct the problem, we installed a WaterGuard® drainage system along the interior perimeter to intercept and channel groundwater to a TripleSafe™ sump pump. This ensured that water would be safely removed from the home before it could cause damage. To prevent humidity from lingering, we also installed a Sedona™ dehumidifier to keep moisture levels under control and discourage mold growth.

Once the system was installed, the basement was fully protected from water intrusion. The homeowner was able to preserve their finished space and enjoy a clean, dry, and healthy lower level for years to come.

Recent winter weather in Stanleytown has created conditions that can lead to basement water intrusion as frozen ground begins to thaw. Excess groundwater around the foundation can find its way inside, resulting in damp surfaces, peeling paint, and persistent musty odors.

These moisture issues can worsen over time if not properly addressed, potentially impacting indoor air quality and the home’s structure.

Fortress Foundation Solutions provides Stanleytown homeowners with reliable basement waterproofing solutions. Our systems include WaterGuard® to manage groundwater seepage, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump to ensure consistent water removal, and the SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier to control moisture and reduce the risk of mold growth.
