A homeowner near Brightwood, VA, noticed soft spots in the floor of the kitchen. They had recently remodeled it, replacing the original, outdated kitchen from the 80's. As concerns grew, they decided to call Fortress Foundation Solutions. A System Designer completed a free inspection of the home and noticed some issues with the crawl space. The new, all wood cabinets with heavy stone countertops put extra weight on the main beam. Moisture inside the crawl space contributed to weakening the wood and a crack was now apparent. This home needed SmartJacks. SmartJacks are adjustable, steel columns can be added under a main beam or in combination with a supplemental beam. They provide support and stability to the entire home. This repairs crooked and sinking floors, creating a level surface, adding extra support. Fortress fixed their sagging floors and now these homeowners have their dream kitchen with no more worries.

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. This homeowner can now rest assured that their foundation is stabilized and they their basement will be dry!
