Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Emily B. of Raphine, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions after her sidewalk had settled quite a bit. Afraid any misstep would result in an injury, she was looking for a solution. Brandon Conner, System Designer, met with Emily and offered her a free estimate for PolyLevel foam lifting. Soon our PolyLevel installation team was onsite drilling small holes into the sidewalk and injecting foam. Once the sidewalk was lifted and leveled, the holes were filled in with cement. Now when Emily has guests over or is just spending time in the front of her home, she doesn't have to worry about tripping hazards any more!

This basement in Weyers Cave, VA was experiencing water and mold in this home. This homeowners also noticed the wall in the basement was also starting to bow inward. Our System Designer was able to go out to this home and provide an estimate to determine a solution to this issue. The best solution to this problem was our PowerBraces and Water Guard system. Power Braces help to stabilize the wall and prevent it from collapsing more. Our Water Guard system includes a sump pump that allows water to exist the basement. This products work together to provide a permanent solution. 

The basement of this home in Weyers Cave had walls that were cracking and bowing, and also had an issue with water seeping in through the foundation. The homeowner reached out to Fortress for a solution to stabilize those foundation walls, and also to keep their basement dry.

Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to assess this home and recommended our PowerBrace System to support and stabilize those foundation walls. For the water intrusion issue, he recommended installing our WaterGuard XL system along the perimeter of the basement, along with SuperSump sump pump.

This homeowner can now rest assured knowing that their foundation is supported and dry!

These Weyers Cave homeowners were having issues not only water extrusion, but also with a wall that needed support. After calling Fortress Foundation Solutions, our System Designer was able to come out to the home and provide a free home evaluation. The System Designer knew the best solution to the water issue was our WaterGuard System. The best solution to the wall issue was to install out PowerBraceSupports. Our systems provided a solution to these homeowners for years to come.   

These homeowners approached Fortress Foundation Solutions for help with their dug-out crawlspace. Their crawlspace was getting penetrated by water at the floor level and mold was beginning to grow on the block walls. Because these homeowners used their crawlspace for storage and a home-workshop, they were worried about their personal belongings getting ruined by the incoming water and the damp, humid environment it was causing.; The incoming water was not only staining the concrete walls and floors, but it was also dampening the plywood the homeowner kept in the basement. A majority of this home’s problems were caused by the lack of a proper drainage system. Because of having little drainage, standing water puddles were also forming in the crawlspace. Fortress provided many solutions for this home’s crawlspace problems. To waterproof the walls of the crawlspace we applied CleanSpace panels to the walls. At the base of the walls, we installed WaterGuard, which captures all of the water that might penetrate the CleanSpace (if it even gets through!).
