This home in Blue Ridge had a sidewalk that was sinking and cracking. The homeowner reached out to Fortress for a solution to this problem.

Our System Designer, Zach Bullock, went out and determined that our PolyLevel Injection System would be able to lift that area back up to it's original position.

The foreman for this, Brian Davis, went out and strategically drilled holes in the concrete where injection ports are then installed. Polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slab. The holes and control joints are then sealed.

This home in Blue Ridge had an issue with water seeping in through the foundation with rain.

Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to assess this home and determined that the best solution would be to install our WaterGuard XL System along the perimeter of the basement, along with a TripleSafe sump pump.

Our WaterGuard System is designed to capture any wall or floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor, any water will then drain to the TripleSafe and be pumped out of the home. Together these products will ensure that this basement will remain dry all year long!

The crawlspace that Fortress Foundation sales representative, Zach Bolluck, inspected in Natural Bridge Station, VA was a complete disaster. The floor of the crawlspace was either loose dirt or dirt covered with a thin plastic sheet. Plastic sheets used to cover the dirt ground in crawlspaces in never a permanent solution. To be honest, it really is not a temporary solution either. Along with unnecessary debris, this crawlspace was also covered with water. The drainage systems in place were ineffective; they did not capture or drain the water that was infiltrating the crawlspace. One of the major flaws of the existing drainage systems was the faulty sump pump. Without a properly working sump pump, a crawlspace is doomed to be moist, which may result in mold or wood rot (like in this home’s case). During this four day project, Fortress Foundation Solutions installed all of the proper equipment to encapsulate and waterproof the crawlspace. The first task Fortress always completes in any crawlspace is removing all debris. We like to have a clear space to work.

The walls on this basement were bowing and cracking. To stop this problem Fortress installed nine Carbon Armor straps, eight Power Braces, and six GeoLock Anchors. The foundation is now stabilized and will never have issues again.
