Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

The homeowners in Powhatan, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns about the crawl space under their home. This area was taking on water and moisture. The insulation was falling down and the floors above were begging to sag. Our System Designer was able to provide a free estimate for an encapsulation. 

The System Designer recommended our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to protect the crawl space from the outside elements. The System Designer also recommended our SmartJack system to help support those floors. Our Forman and his crew installed these products.   

This homeowner wanted to install new flooring in their Powhatan home, but had to address the sagging floors first. Part of their floor was being held up by a tree trunk! Chris Wilmouth, System Designer, came out to do a full inspection and provide a free estimate. Foreman, Warren Dickerson, who has lots of crawl space experience, came out with his crew to install Smart Jacks. These jacks provide stabilization for the floor joists to help sagging floors. Soon the floors were stabilized and ready to receive new flooring!

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!
