Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This client was worried about moisture in her crawls pace, so she called Fortress Foundation Solutions, who sent Paul Heckman to her house. Paul did a thorough inspection of her crawl space, and gave her an estimate. A few days later, our Foreman, Charlie Evans, went out with his crew and installed our SilverGlo Insulation on the walls of the crawl space, our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier in the corner, and our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on the floors and walls. Our client was so grateful for her clean, dry crawl space!

Observe the transformation we achieved on a block foundation in Great Cacapon, WV. The homeowner faced stair-step cracks and a severe 2-inch wall deflection, posing potential risks to the structural integrity of the home. To address these concerns, we expertly installed the PowerBrace™ System. These zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fitted and securely anchored, effectively stabilizing the foundation walls. As showcased in the after photo, this method not only halted further inward wall movement but also promised potential improvement over time, ensuring a stable, safe, and healthy home environment.

This home owner called Fortress Foundation Solutions worried because there was a musty smell throughout their home. They called our Fortress team and we sent our System Designer, Sonny, out to take a look. Sonny inspected the property and discovered water getting into their crawl space. After Sonny was finished with his inspection, he determined that the best solution was to have our production team install our Crawl Space Encapsulation System along with our SmartSump Pump to remove the water permanently and give them peace of mind knowing their crawl space will always be dry.  

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!

Jimi H. of Berkeley Springs, WV noticed water damage in his unfinished basement after a weekend of heavy rain. He recognized it was time to contact Fortress Foundation Solutions and schedule his complimentary estimate.

System Designer Kurtis Toppert identified that the pressure from the heavy rains had led to a buildup of water near the foundation, causing a hairline crack that allowed water to seep in—a phenomenon known as hydrostatic pressure.

Kurtis swiftly addressed the crack by utilizing flexible carbon fiber fabric straps called CarbonArmor which are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. Using high-strength epoxy resin, the carbon fiber straps were bonded to the interior face of the wall. They dried quickly and will not affect future basement finishing plans.

Immar and Edgar served as the foremen on this project. After applying the CarbonArmor, they covered the wall with in BrightWall and installed our WaterGuard system around the entire perimeter to ensure a consistently dry basement. Furthermore, they tied our WaterGuard system into our Triple Safe Sump Pump system, providing these homeowners with complete and total peace of mind.
