Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

he owner of this home hired a general contractor to finish his basement. Before the work began on the basement, the contractor wanted to waterproof the basement. Fortress Foundation Solutions was the company this contractor chose to do the work. Although waterproofing a basement does not require an unfinished basement, it is slightly easier. This basement presented many challenges for Fortress, beginning with the block walls leaking water into the basement at the floor level. Standing water was found in numerous locations of this basement; standing water creates a moist/damp atmosphere that is susceptible to mold. Also, the basement’s current sump pump was faulty, requiring Fortress to install a new one.

Fortress was able to aid this contractor in the completion of this space. WaterGuard was installed all throughout this basement to ensure that the water leaking in was caught before it could spread to various other sections of the basement. Brightwall was installed to protect the walls from further water damage. Also, a SuperSump was placed in the basement to pump and remove the water from the basement. The SuperSump pushed water through a pump discharge (pipeoff) and a lawnscape to move the water away from the basement. After two days of installations, this basement was fully waterproof and ready for the general contractor to take his next steps in finishing this basement for its homeowner.

This homeowner in Brownsburg, Virginia, was experiencing settlement of their front porch. Fortress utilized our Push Pier system to stabilize and life the porch back to its original position. This homeowner can now enjoy this space without fear of future damage. All backed by a lifetime warranty.

Emily B. of Raphine, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions after her sidewalk had settled quite a bit. Afraid any misstep would result in an injury, she was looking for a solution. Brandon Conner, System Designer, met with Emily and offered her a free estimate for PolyLevel foam lifting. Soon our PolyLevel installation team was onsite drilling small holes into the sidewalk and injecting foam. Once the sidewalk was lifted and leveled, the holes were filled in with cement. Now when Emily has guests over or is just spending time in the front of her home, she doesn't have to worry about tripping hazards any more!

This home was in need of extra support to fix the sagging floors that have developed overtime. Our System Designer, Danny Camunas, provided the homeowners with a simple solution that would put their worries at ease. 

Foreman, Andre Luck (Lucky), and his crew completed this project of four Smart Jacks that will lift the floors in this home permanently.  

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.
