Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

These homeowners wanted to finish their basement, but had water intrusion that they needed to address first. They reached out and Sonny Kingsbury, System Designer, came out to provide them with a solution to address their concerns.  Foreman, AJ Looney and his crew went out to install the system and left the homeowner with the ability to finish their basement and make it a dry usable space! 

This customer's home was encapsulated by another company in 2017. In 2018, our customer purchased this home. Due to the poor installation of the previous company, they decided to have it re-encapsulated by us. This crawl space has multiple additions. The original foundation is made of flagstone. The addition on the home is cinderblocks. The crawl space was home to snakes and rodents. The house is also built on a hill, which created a very shallow opening between the ground and floor joists. 

Fortress Foundation Solutions removed the old, inefficient sump pump and vapor barrier, and then installed new drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, and a TripleSafe sump pump with battery backup and external discharge. We also used spray foam to insulate the flagstone, and we used insulation board for added insulation.

This homeowner had water damage throughout their basement due to repeated flooding. Fortress Foundtion Solutions solved this problem by installing a WaterGuard with a TripleSafe Sump System. We also installed an ice guard to ensure that the basement would stay dry during every season.

This homeowner located in Penhook, VA contacted our Fortress team because he was interested in getting his crawl space encapsulated and also getting rid of that musty smell circulating throughout their crawl space. 

We had one of our Sytem Designers go out to the property to give a quote on our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This system made their crawl space into a cleaner, drier, healthier, and more energy-efficient space.

This homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they noticed that the floors in their home started sagging and there was a musty smell circulating throughout their home. Fortress went out to inspect the issues that they were having and informed the homeowner that their crawl space had been receiving water, which was causing the musty smell, and the floors had started sagging because the wood beams in their crawl space had started to rot. Fortress installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier along with our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. Our SmartJacks provide solid support for sagging and undersized beams.
