Experienced Basement Waterproofing And Crawl Space Repair Company Serving Tazewell County, VA

This Homeowner in Tazewell, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns of a bowing wall in the home. After calling the office and speaking to the appointment center, our System Designer, Jamey was able to go out to this home and provide a free no obligate estimate to these homeowners. Jamey’s solution to this issue was to install our Power Braces, and Smart Jacks along with our Clean Space vapor Barrier. Our Foreman, Aj and his crew went out to this home and began to prep the home for the work being installed. Our crew placed metal rods against the wall. These rods are known as Power Braces. Power Braces are used to stabilize the wall from caving in any further, they allow the wall to stand to the original placement. Our crew also installed our Smart Jack system. These Smart Jacks are used to stabilize sagging floors. They are the best solution for supporting any beams that have began to fail. We also installed our Clean Space vapor barrier and a Smart sump, sump pump. This barrier and sump work to keep out any water that comes into the crawlspace of the home. A Sani Dry Sedona was also installed, this is a dehumidifier that elevates any moisture that may come into the home. The finished product of this home left these homeowners with a stabilized foundation and a clean, water free crawlspace for years to come

Kevin R. had watched his tiled porch sink lower and lower over the last 10 years. Cracks had developed along the grout and through tiles. Growing more concerned. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate. A System Designer met with Kevin and explained how our PolyLevel Injection Foam System could raise his porch - possibly to the original height. Soon, the Fortress PolyLevel crew arrived at the home and began their work. They drilled small holes at measured intervals into the concrete, filling these holes with PolyLevel until the walkway was lifted to the desired height. Once leveled, the tiny holes were filled, and the porch restored to its original state. Now Kevin and his family can safely enjoy this outdoor space again!

A homeowner in Cedar Bluff, VA reached out to Fortress after noticing horizontal cracks and bowing in their basement walls—classic signs of foundation movement. Concerned about the long-term stability of their home, they called on us for a trusted, permanent solution.

Our System Designer conducted a full inspection and identified inward wall movement due to soil pressure. To address the problem and stabilize the foundation, we recommended our GeoLock® Wall Anchor System—designed to permanently halt wall movement and even allow for potential straightening over time.

Our Foreman and crew got to work by installing galvanized steel anchors into stable soil outside the foundation. These anchors were then connected to steel plates mounted on the interior basement walls. Once everything was secured and properly tightened, the system immediately began stabilizing the affected walls.

Thanks to the strength and durability of the GeoLock system, these basement walls are now safely supported and protected against future movement.

In Montpelier, Virginia, a homeowner faced persistent moisture issues and a damp, musty environment in their crawl space. These conditions were not only uncomfortable but were slowly paving the way for potential structural issues due to mold and wood rot. Recognizing the signs, the homeowner sought a permanent solution and reached out to our Customer Care Specialist at Fortress Foundation Solutions.

Understanding the urgency of the problem, we promptly scheduled a comprehensive inspection of the property. Our seasoned System Design Specialist analyzed the crawl space and identified the key issues. The prominent culprits were excess moisture and inadequate insulation, both of which contributed to the musty odors and structural risks. The homeowner was introduced to a tailored plan that would systematically address these problems, ensuring both the safety and comfort of their home.

Our experienced production team then executed the plan, starting with the installation of the CleanSpace encapsulation system. This impermeable barrier effectively sealed off moisture sources, providing a foundation for a healthier home environment. To bolster insulation, we employed the SilverGlo wall panels, which not only insulated but created an unbroken vapor barrier, crucial for directing moisture into the drainage system.

Complementing these measures was our installation of the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which works efficiently to control humidity levels, keeping the space dry and mold-resistant. Finally, a TripleSafe Sump Pump system was installed to prevent potential flooding, ensuring a smarter flood protection system.

With these improvements, the Montpelier homeowner now enjoys a dry, safe, and energy-efficient crawl space.

A homeowner in Jewell Ridge reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns about a failing basement wall. After noticing visible cracks and bowing, they knew immediate intervention was crucial to maintain the integrity of their home. Seeking a permanent and reliable foundation repair solution, they contacted our Customer Care Specialist, who promptly scheduled an inspection.

Our System Design Specialist arrived to conduct a thorough inspection of the basement and diagnosed the problem: a weakening foundation wall needing stabilization.
