Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Nathan R. was getting ready to purchase a home near Oakton, VA. The home inspector found some foundation damage around the chimney. Nathan wanted to have it checked before purchasing the home; so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. System Designer Santiago Garzon, our real estate expert, met with the potential home buyer. After an inspection, Santiago provided a free estimate for his recommendation - Push Piers. Push Piers are steel rods driven under the home's footer to provide stabilization and prevent further settlement. Nathan was then able to negotiate the price of the repair with the seller and purchase the home. After the closing, a Fortress crew completed the installation. Now Nathan can be confident knowing the foundation of his new home is secure!

Our client in Bumpass, VA, was dealing with sagging floors as well as moisture in her crawlspace. She called Fortress to ensure her home was taken care of from start to finish. System Designer, Chris Wilmouth, diagnosed the issues she was experiencing and created the perfect solution for her home. Foreman Travis Farmer and his crew installed a SmartJack system to deal with her sagging floors and then followed it up with CleanSpace to encapsulate and a SaniDry unit to keep the crawlspace dry and clean.

This home in Clover, VA was settling and sinking. This was causing cracks on both the inside and outside of the house. Fortress installed Push Piers along the outside walls to stabilize and support the foundation.

This home in Clover had several stair-step cracks along the outside walls of the home. These cracks were cause by the house sinking and settling.

Fortress helped this family out by installing 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 homeowner was concerned about a musty odor coming from their crawl space.

Our System Designer, Chris Guill went out to their home to evaluate the situation they were having. He concluded that the crawl space would need a complete encapsulation.

With a plan set, Nick Mori and his production team came to the home and installed Drainage Matting, our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and Rim Joist insulation.
