A homeowner came to Fortress Foundation Solutions in hopes of transforming her basement into a more comfortable space. She had water seeping in at the floor level of her basement block walls and a poor basement drainage system. Although she was already using the space to her advantage, she was tired of working in such poor conditions. The air was moist and humid and the space was simply uncomfortable to be in. Fortress made it so this homeowner could work in a cleaner space. First Fortress installed WaterGuard and BrightWall. These two installations not only protect the basement from water, but also make it so the area is clean and much more user friendly. A pump discharge unit was put to use, along with a SuperSump to remove all unwanted water. Now this basement is clean and comfortable for the homeowner to enjoy.
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a series of GeoLock Wall Anchors to permanantely stabalize this customer's home.
Jacob T. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing musty smells coming from his crawl space. After investigating, he discovered mildew and moisture beginning to damage his wooden floor joists and falling down, moisture-saturated insulation. System Designer Skylar Beverage met with Jason, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation and CleanSpace vapor barrier. The CleanSpace keeps out moisture and the SilverGlo insulates to keep the home warm in winter and cool in the summer. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed removing excess moisture from the air, keeping the crawl space dry. Jacob has now protected his most important asset - his home!

Foreman Warren Dickerson was sent out to install EZFlow drainage pipe which directs water to the Super Sump Sump Pump and is pumped out of the house. The CleanSpace vapor barrier was next to seal the house off from the dirt below. With the elimination of standing water and a
