This customer was worried about the state of his crawl space, particularly about the water leaking in, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions to come give him a free estimate. We sent out our System Designer, Paul Heckman, who did a thorough inspection of his crawl space and designed a solution just for him. Soon after signing the contract, our Foreman, Travis Farmer, and his crew went out to complete the job. They installed our SmartPump Sump Pump system to keep the water out, as well as our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the air in the crawl space moisture-free. To finish the job, they installed our SilverGlo Insulation on the walls, as well as our Drainage Matting and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on the ground to ensure the crawl space stays nice and dry. Our client was incredibly satisfied with the result!
This homeowner in Purcellville, VA had been dealing with basement flooding for 10 years! There were clear watermarks on the walls and the floors. They needed this problem solved permanently because they wanted to finish the basement and use it as a rental space. They knew that finishing the space without fixing the problem would lead to further issues and they couldn't in good conscious let someone rent and live in it. Water can cause damage to the walls and personal belongings, cause mold to grow, and affect the air quality of the basement and the rest of the home. The homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions for help. System designer Caleb Stone went out and gave them a free estimate and proposed a solution. They trusted Caleb's knowledge and expertise and accepted Fortress's help. Foreman Clarence Copeland and his crew went out and installed a full perimeter system with our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain. WaterGuard is the best choice for waterproofing a basement. It's installed below the floor slab and rests on top of the foundation footing which keeps it from potentially getting clogged by mud. WaterGuard is installed with minimal invasion of the slab and all concrete is restored after. This system flows into our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which has two pumps capable of pumping up to 6,120 gallons of water per hour. In the case of a power outage, a third pump runs on a battery backup and can pump up to 11,500 gallons per hour. This job was finished off with our CleanSpace wall to give the basement a bright and clean look for finishing in the future. This homeowner can now do any renovations to the basement they want and can be sure it will be protected!

Is your sidewalk separating from your home? Fortress Foundation Solutions offers concrete services to help! At this property the sidewalk was pulling away from the foundation of the home. System Designer Chris Wilmouth sent our Concrete Crew, Mickey and Dom, out to lift the sidewalk back into place using our Poly Level Injection and sealing off the job by using Nexus Pro Joint Seal to ensure the cracks wouldn't be visible.
We want to protect your forever home! This was the case for one homeowner in Orange, VA who was having water leak into his crawl space.

We were able to protect his home from any future water leaks, providing peace of mind for our customers and their home!
This homeowner in Leesburg, Virginia was concerned about the uneven sidewalk leading to the front door. The homeowner was worried about the residents and visitors tripping over the sinking sidewalk. The homeowner gave Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate and a permanent solution. Our system designer, Riley Ethier, informed the homeowner that the sidewalk was sinking due to natural soil erosion and settlement underneath the concrete. To remedy the situation, Riley proposed our PolyLevel system as the permanent solution. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. Tim Gregorin took our PolyLevel rig and fixed this sidewalk! Once the PolyLevel Foam had stabilized and leveled the concrete, Tim sealed the joints with our NexusPro Joint Sealant. NexusPro prevents water from getting under the concrete where is can freeze and expand to cause more harm. This homeowner was elated to have peace of mind and the safety of the home restored!
