Before & After Photos

In the 'before' photo, you can see the clear issues with sagging floors in this Dayton home, a problem often worsened by weakened floor joists and insufficient support. Fortress Foundation Solutions addressed these concerns with the SmartJack® System. Now as seen in the 'after' photo, the crawl space beams and floor joists have been expertly stabilized. The SmartJack provides a firm foundation, improving both the structural integrity of the home and resident peace of mind. Our installation reduces floor bounce and restores floors to a more level position.

This crawl space in Ringgold had water seeping up through the foundation when it rained. The floors of the house were also warped. The homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions to solve this problem. After assessing the home, Fortress determined that a full-perimeter WaterGuard, a SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System, a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, and SmartJack Supports were the best solution. The WaterGuard will catch any water coming in and channel it to the SmartSump where it will be pumped out of the crawl space. The SmartJackSupports straighten the floor of the home and add much needed support. This homeowner no longer has to worry about a wet crawl space or bowing floors again!

This crawl space in Lynchburg, VA was experiencing some standing water. The home owner was worried about the quality of the crawl space and the effects it would have on the home above it. Fortress insatalled our Clean Space vapor barrier to keep mositure out and we also put in a Smart Sump pump. 

This crawl space in Lynchburg, Virginia was having some problems with water intrusion. The homeowner had an existing sump in the crawl space but it was not operating well enough to keep up with the amount of water in the crawl space. Fortress Foundation Solutions went to the home and fully encapsulated the area with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. We also replaced the sump pump the homeowner had with our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System. 

This crawlspace in Lynchburg was leaking and moldy. The dirt floor was covered in a thin layer of plastic that did not stop water and mud from getting in. The insulation was damp and falling down. Fortress solved these problems by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation with a SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System and SilverGlo Insulation to ensure that this crawlspace will stay clean and dry!
