Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This Charlottesville, VA homeowner came across Fortress Foundation Solutions at one of our home shows. They stopped at the booth and started speaking with one of our System Designers about the water they had been receiving in thei basement. They had water entering their basement through the walls whenever it would rain heavily. 

Fortress gave them a call to schedule a time for one of our System Designers to take a look at their home. After he was finished, he sat down with the homeowners and inormed them more about our Full Perimeter Wall System and also our BrightWall Basement Wall Panels.

Our WaterGuard System is installed below the floor slab and rests ontop of the foundation footing. After this system is installed, we restore all the concrete. Our BrightWall Basement Wall Panel is a rigid plastic sheeting that's attached to your basement wall by drilled-in plastic fasteners. Its bright white color maximizes the available light in your basement, creating a cheerful, clean-looking space. BrightWall is 100% waterproof and washable, and it creates a vapor barrier on your basement walls to block out water vapor and humidity. 

This house had a dirty and flooding crawlspace and sagging floors. We used the PolyLevel System and a SmartJack to fix the sagging floors. We then installed the CleanSpace Encapsulation System with the SuperSump Plus to ensure the crawlspace would stay dry and clean.

This basement in Charlottesville had a bowing wall with cracks that were allowing water to leak in. Fortress solved this issue by installing several CarbonArmor  Straps along the wall to stabilize the foundation.

This home in Charlottesville had several stair-step cracks along the outside walls of the house. These cracks were cause by the house sinking and settling. Fortress helped this family out by installing several Push Piers along the outside of the the house to support and stabilize the foundation. Fortress dug a trench around the house, installed the Push Piers, then covered them back up. Pier installations are great for many homeowners because they are not visible after the installation.

This home in Charlottesville had a sidewalk that was sinking and settling, becoming a tripping hazard.

Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out and determined that our PolyLevel Injection System would be able to lift that area back up to it's original position.

The foreman for this, Brian Davis, went out and strategically drilled holes in the concrete where injection ports are then installed. Polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slab. The holes and control joints are then sealed.
