Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Hampstead had many issues caused by water intrusion. The floors of the house were also warped. Not only were the walls stained, but there was also mold growing on them. This not only affects the crawl space, but also the air quality of the entire house. Mold is a big issue that can cause insomnia, heightened anxiety and depression, hair loss and many cold-like symptoms. Long-term exposure can even cause long term and sometimes permanent lung damage! Fortress believes in treating every homeowner like family and wants to make sure that our family is not becoming sick by and easily solved problem. Fortress went to this home and installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation, SilverGlow Wall Insulation, a full perimeter WaterGuard, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, and SmartJack Supports. The SmartJackSupports straighten the floor of the home and add much needed support. This family can rest assured that their crawl space is clean, dry, and mold free!

Tanya P. reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions upon detecting musty odors emanating from her crawl space, where she uncovered mildew and moisture damaging the wooden floor joists and causing insulation saturation. System Designer Skylar Beverage conducted a thorough assessment, offering Tanya a complimentary estimate for encapsulation. Subsequently, a Fortress crew promptly commenced installation, incorporating drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation, and CleanSpace vapor barrier to combat moisture intrusion. With CleanSpace effectively blocking moisture and SilverGlo providing insulation for year-round comfort, Tanya has safeguarded her home, her most valuable asset.

Upon observing the settling of his front porch stoop, which led to visible gaps over time, Tanner R. reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions for assistance. System Designer Skylar Beverage promptly met with Tanner, conducting a comprehensive inspection and providing a complimentary estimate. With a solution in sight, Tanner agreed to move forward. The PolyLevel team from Fortress quickly arrived at the property and initiated the repair process. Using PolyLevel, they strategically drilled small holes into the concrete at intervals, filling them to elevate the slab to its intended level. After leveling, meticulous care was taken to fill the holes, restoring the driveway to its original state.

This homeowner in Fulton, Maryland had an issue with the front porch cracking due to its foundation settlement. The homeowner wanted to restore the porch and ensure that it was safe from further issues caused by settlement. They called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a permanent solution. Our system designer prescribed our Helical Piers to stabilize the sinking porch. Helical Piers have helical plates welded to the pier shaft to help to pull the pier into the soil during installation and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier. One of our crews soon went out to install the system. Once the porch was stabilized, we used our NexusPro Joint Sealant to fill in the cracks and restore the porch's aesthetic. The homeowners can no enjoy their porch again without worry!

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter WaterGuard System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System with an external discharge, and installed GeoLock Wall Anchors for foundation stabilization. We were also able to use the GeoLock Wall Anchors to stabalize a retaining wall supporting the customer's driveway.
