Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Arlington, Virginia had been dealing with water in his basement. He attempted to remedy the basement flooding issue with an inefficient open sump pump. Not only could this generic sump pump not keep the basement dry, but it not being sealed properly posed other issues. The open sump allowed moisture from the water it did collect to escape out into the space, which was causing the air to be humid and smell musty. He decided he needed a permanent fix, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our system designer went to the home and gave a free estimate and designed a system to remedy the problem. Fortress installed a waterproofing system that included our SuperSump pump, which is capable of pumping 2,200 gallons of water per hour. This SuperSump was installed with our UltraSump battery back up system that continues to pump up to 11,500 gallons of water during a power outage. All of our sump systems are air tight so moisture and smells can't escape into the air of the home. 

This customer called because they were ready to list their home for sale, but needed to fix the water problem in the crawl space first. They were able to quickly get an appointment with Zach Bullock who completed an inspection and provided an estimate the same day. Charlie Evans, foreman, was able to come with his crew to regrade, install EZ flow drainage pipe and a SmartSump sump pump system to keep the crawlspace dry. A dry crawl space is at the top of home buyer's lists, making this home buyer ready!

This client wanted a standard encapsulation by a trustworthy company in her crawl space, so she contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our System Designer, Skylar Beverage, went out and mapped out a solution for her, and soon after, our crew went out to encapsulate her crawl space. They laid down our Drainage Matting before installing our SilverGlo Insulation on the walls, our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on the ground, and sealing it with our Rim Joist Insulation. We left our customer with a wonderfully clean, sealed crawl space!

This client noticed water coming into his crawl space and decided he wanted to get it encapsulated, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. We sent out our System Designer, Dave Mauldin, who did a thorough inspection and gave him an estimate. Later, our Foreman and his crew went out and installed SilverGlo Insulation on the walls with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on the floor and walls to keep it nice and dry. Our client was very satisfied with his crawl space!

This house was experiencing water intrusion issues along the front wall of the home. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a WaterGaurd system and Super Sump + to address the issues with water coming into the front wall of the basement.
