Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This client reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns about their crawlspace. One of our system designers visited their home and identified several areas needing attention. We installed our CleanSpace Wall System, multiple SmartJacks to support the main beam and prevent further floor sagging, and our PowerBrace Wall Support system to repair and stabilize the foundation walls against future bowing. We’re thrilled to help create a safer, healthier environment for their home!

In Annandale, Virginia, a homeowner sought assistance from Fortress Foundation Solutions after receiving a recommendation regarding elevated moisture levels in their recently purchased property's dirt crawlspace. System designer Todd Simmons offered comprehensive insights during the consultation, emphasizing the modern approach of treating crawl spaces as integral components of home structure rather than external areas.

Todd explained the necessity of separating the earth from the home and protecting it against environmental factors. Impressed by Todd's expertise, the homeowner chose Fortress Foundation Solutions for a comprehensive solution.

Our team prioritized ensuring a consistently dry crawl space through meticulous planning. This involved digging trenches and connecting them to our Triple Safe Sump System, renowned for its reliability and resilience with three pumps and a backup generator, effectively addressing water infiltration concerns.

Additionally, we installed drainage matting followed by over 100 feet of our proprietary CleanSpace encapsulation system. This multi-layered solution, engineered for durability, effectively isolates the crawl space from external elements, fortifying the home against moisture intrusion and enhancing its structural integrity.

A homeowner in Lorton, Virginia contacted us because his children suffer from severe allergies and asthma. They had purchased multiple air purifiers online, but nothing seemed to help. After doing more research, he came across the Aspen Air Purification system and quickly realized it was the right solution for their home. Nathan was the system designer who responded to the call, and Donny was the installer who delivered and set up the system.

Last winter, a homeowner in Springfield, VA, faced the unwelcome challenge of frozen pipes, prompting them to reach out to us for a crawl space repair solution. The before photo captures the unprotected state of their crawl space, starkly highlighting the need for intervention. We stepped in with our cutting-edge products: CleanSpace to seal off moisture, SaniDry Sedona for dehumidification, and SilverGlow™ to insulate the area effectively. As evident in the after photo, the transformation ensures that the crawl space is now a fortified barrier against the cold, safeguarding the home from similar issues in the future. With this proactive approach, we not only addressed the immediate problem but also contributed to the long-term protection and efficiency of the home.

In Falls Church, Virginia, local homeowner Joe noticed puddling in his basement after a major rainstorm. He had to move all of the furniture in his finished basement to the middle of the room because he didn’t know where the water was coming from, as seen in the before photo.

He immediately called Fortress and scheduled a free estimate. We sent one of our experienced system designers out to evaluate the problem, and the answer was clear: groundwater intrusion. A proposal was put together, and a solution was agreed upon - WaterGuard tied into a SuperSump Plus system along with a SaniDry dehumidifier.

Nick, the foreman on the job, got to work and demoed the walls just enough to expose the foundation walls and create a clean work area. He then carefully pulled back the very damaged carpet and installed our system, as seen in the after photo.

Joe was disappointed the water intrusion happened in the first place, but relieved knowing his basement is now protected by our lifetime of the structure warranty - and excited to remodel his man cave once again.
