Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This homeowner gave Fortress a call because each time they would receive any rain in their area, their basement would too!

Our system designer, Chris Guill, went out to their home to do a complete inspection. After providing an estimate that included a full perimeter WaterGuard System along with a TripleSafe Sump Pump, this homeowner quickly agreed! 

Our WaterGuard System is the ideal choice when waterproofing a basement. This French drain system is installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing, keeping the drainage system out of the "mud zone" where it could potentially get clogged. All water enters the WaterGuard flowing to the sump pump and is pumped out of the home. The TripleSafe includes three pumps - two for heavy rains and the third connected to a battery backup in case the power goes out. Now the basement is dry in all situations.

This homeowner in Galax contacted Fortress with concerns about their home's foundation. Stair-step cracks is an indicator of foundation sinking and settling. System Designer, Chris Guill, went out for a full evaluation. He determined the home needed foundation repair. 

Our crew installed 10 Push Piers to lift and stabilize that foundation. Push Piers are installed next to the footings and attached with a heavy duty steel brackets. Soil is backfilled around the piers once stabilization and lifting is complete to finish the installation. 

Robert E. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after the patio where his hot tub is located had dropped and cracked. He did not want anyone tripping or falling! System Designer, Chris Guill, was happy to provide a free estimate to lift and level the patio. PolyCrew leader, Tim Gregorin, used his expertise to carefully inject PolyLevel foam into the slab and apply NexusPro to fill the cracks. Now Robert and his family can enjoy their hot tub again without stubbed toes or twisted ankles!

PowerBrace's unique, patented design allows the system to be tightened over time, potentially reversing wall failure without any invasive drilling or digging on the property.

These homeowners in Hillsville, VA noticed a few concerning issues with their home. After rain water was making its way thought the foundation of the home. The foundation walls also began to bow inward and crack. After calling Fortress Foundation Solutions our System Designer was able to visit with the homeowners and provide a free estimate for a solution. 

The System Designer suggested our PowerBrace System to help stabilize the bowing wall, and our WaterGuard System to prevent the basement from getting anymore water. Our Forman and his crew installed both of these systems for these Hillsville residents. The final result was a dry basement and a stabilized foundation!
