Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Family homes are important to Fortress Foundation Solutions. This family home in Crozet, VA had severe wall failure, they called our Fortress Team to create a solution. After System Designer, Danny Camunas, took a look at the home he sent Foreman, Clearance Copeland, and his crew to install four of our Power Brace Foundation Wall Repair System to stop the wall failure indefinitely. 

The owner of this home called us with concern due to the water seeping into her crawlspace. Not only was the crawlspace damp, but it was also extremely dirty. Cobwebs were climbing the walls along with the insulation falling from the ceiling. We were able to address all of the issues this homeowner was concerned with. Fortress Foundation Solutions first cleaned up this crawlspace by encapsulating it with CleanSpace dry matting. Although CleanSpace is usually installed from floor to ceiling, this homeowner asked that we only do the floor and the columns. Instead of CleanSpace on the walls, we installed Foamax. This was the homeowner’s personal preference. Foamax is a two inch thick insulation foil that is used to increases energy efficiency even more than CleanSpace. Rim Band Foam was also installed to seal off all air infiltration from the outside environment. To address the unwanted water, Fortress installed a Sanidry Condensate Pump and Lawnscape. Both help move the water out and away from the crawlspace and the home. Fortress left this crawlspace clean, dry, and extremely energy efficient.

This homeowner came to us with a bowing and cracking wall. Fortress installed ten GeoLock Wall Anchors to straighten and stabilize that wall. They will not have to worry about bowing or cracking again.

This home in Wirtz had foundation walls that had cracked and the homeowner was concerend about the walls bowing. They reached out to Fortress for a solution on how to stablize their foundation.

Our System Designer, Jamey Elder, went out to assess the home and determined that the best solution would be to install our GeoLock Wall Anchor System.

The GeoLock anchor system permanently stabilizes your foundation wall and, in many cases, can straighten your wall back toward its original position. Heavy-duty earth anchors are embedded in stable soil away from your foundation wall, and are then connected to steel anchors with long, galvanized rods. Once tightened, the anchors will hold the wall securely in its current position without any further adjustment. However, a unique benefit of the system includes the ability to tighten the anchors during dry seasons, meaning you can improve and even completely straighten your walls over time.

The customer called Fortress Foundation Solutions with a moldy crawl space that was allowing the heat from the house to escape. Fortress solved these problems by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation and RimTight Insulation to ensure the crawlspace would stay mold free and insulated.
