Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Joe W. of Powhatan, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing his floors sagging. System Designer, Zack Bullock, went out to meet with Joe, inspect the crawl space and provide a free estimate. Zach proposed Smart Jacks to lift the floor and an encapsulation to protect the floor joists from further moisture damage. Joe agreed! Foreman, Travis Farmer, was assigned to the job. He set the footers, installed the Smart Jack post under the beam, and lifted until the floor was stabilized. The final step was to install CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier sealing the house off from the damp ground below. Now when Joe walks across his kitchen he is confident knowing his floor is stable, his crawl space is clean & dry, eliminating future mold growth or floor sagging. 

A homeowner had some bad settlement around the front of their home. The concrete had settled quite a bit leaving a gap under the front stone facade. They called Fortress Foundation Solutions and met with a system designer for a free estimate. We recommended our PolyLevel Foam Injection System. In this process a skilled installation crew drills small holes at regular intervals, pumping poly foam into the holes to lift and level. After the desired height is reached, the holes are filled back in. As you can see in the 'After' photo, our crew was able to raise the concrete up and close that gap keeping insects and water out of this home!

A homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions about a crawl space encapsulation - needing more storage space for a growing family. Their crawl space was dark, damp, and the insulation was falling down. System designer, Troy King, was happy to meet with them, explain the encapsulation products and provide a free, same-day estimate. Ready to move forward, they agreed. Foreman, Warren Dickerson and his crew were soon onsite removing the old, saturated insulation and replacing it with SilverGlo on the walls. Next they rolled out the drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep things dry. Now this crawl space is dry, bright and the homeowner has loads of added storage space!

A homeowner had noticed several soft spots in her floor. She had a kitchen remodel a few years back and installed granite countertops, an island and a larger refrigerator. Now her floor was beginning to sag under the added weight. She reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our System Designer met with her, providing a free estimate for SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizers. These are an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. They not only provide supplemental support, but can often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. Now this homeowner can confidently walk in her kitchen without feeling like she will fall through the floor!
