In Castleton, VA, we tackled a homeowner's challenge with a severely deflected wall. The bowing wall is clearly visible in the photo. They called Fortress Foundation Solutions to request a free consultation. System Designer Danny Camunas went out to perform an inspection. In his free estimate, he recommended our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. This state-of-the-art solution for bowing and cracking foundation walls incorporates the same technology the Army Corps of Engineers uses to reinforce bomb shelters, skyscrapers and bridges. The CarbonArmor System includes flexible carbon fiber straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. Using high strength epoxy, the straps are bonded to the interior face of the basement wall. This system installs quickly inside, requires no outside excavation and won't impact future basement finishing. Now this homeowner can feel secure knowing their basement walls will not bow any more!
A homeowner near Shenandoah Junction, WV, had noticed his front porch settling over the last 10 years. Seeing a commercial on TV for concrete lifting and leveling, he decided to call Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate. System Designer Eddie Salido performed a full inspection and offered a proposal. He recommended our PolyLevel Foam Injection System. This process effectively lifts and levels concrete by injecting foam into small holes drilled into the concrete. The holes are then filled in and are unnoticeable. This before photo clearly shows the height difference between the two areas. In the after photo the two pieces of concrete are now even. This homeowner can enjoy their front porch once again!
Carlos H. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after moving into his home and finding out the old sump pump no longer kept his basement dry. Pooling water had created high moisture levels and a bad smell. System Designer Danny Camunas was scheduled for a free estimate. After completing the inspection, he offered a same-day proposal for our WaterGuard Drainage system. Ready for a permanent solution, Carlos agreed. Foreman Clarence Copeland "Cope" and his crew installed a WaterGuard drainage system so all water entering the home flows to the sump pump. The Smart Sump sump pump has a closed lid so moisture and bad odors aren't released from the sump pump. Now Carlo has the dry basement he always wanted with no bad odors.
This property in Reva had a recurring issue with water intrusion, so Fortress Foundation Solutions was called out to see what could be done to solve this problem.
To best fix this issue, Fortress went out and installed our WaterGuard System along the perimeter basement walls, along with a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System. These products will work together by catching any water seeping in, and pumping that water out of the basement, keeping this basement dry!
This customer in Aroda came to us with cracks in the brick and mortar of their foundation. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed 6 push piers to permanently stabilize the foundation and prevent any future settlement.
