Before & After Photos

In Blacksburg, Virginia, Ellen's basement showed significant water intrusion, jeopardizing the safety and usability of her space. In the before photo, you can see signs of dampness, which could lead to structural and health issues if left unaddressed. Our team at Fortress Foundation Solutions installed our WaterGuard system to capture water before it entered the home. We paired that with a TripleSafe sump pump, which pumps the water out of the home. We also installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to improve air quality and moisture levels. The after photo highlights the transformed, dry environment suitable for storage and daily use.

Erin was experiencing water intrusion in one corner of her basement. Wanting to prevent further moisture problems and protect her home, she contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free inspection.

Cope and his crew installed a targeted waterproofing system, including WaterGuard waterproofing system, a TripleSafe sump pump, and CleanSpace Wall along the affected area. As shown in the after photo, the system now captures and redirects water before it reaches the basement floor, keeping the space dry and protected from future water intrusion.

We strive to fix every home with top of the line materials! This client called Fortress Foundation Solutions about water collecting in their basement. Our System Designer, Caleb Stone, went out to their home, found the water seeping into the basement through the walls, and designed a solution himself for the issue. When our Foreman, Andre Luck (better known as "Lucky"), and his crew went out to fix the issue, they used the CleanSpace Wall Systems on the walls, as well as our WaterGuard drainage solution on the floor below to ensure that any water that was collected drained to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, which was then transferred to the discharge line outside of the home. 

Randall was experiencing water intrusion in the basement of his Wirtz home, with water entering through the seam where the concrete floor met the block walls. Concerned about moisture damage and the long-term health of his foundation, he contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a permanent waterproofing solution. Nate and his crew installed a complete basement waterproofing system, including our WaterGuard® Full Perimeter Drainage System, a TripleSafe™ sump pump, and CleanSpace® Wall. As shown in the after photo, the basement is now dry, protected, and equipped to handle future water intrusion—backed by our lifetime warranty.

Erin, a homeowner in Middlebrook, VA, had been dealing with water intrusion in their basement for years. After hearing that their neighbor had trusted Fortress Foundation Solutions to solve a similar issue - and was thrilled with the results - Erin decided to give us a call.

Bill, one of our experienced System Designers, conducted a comprehensive inspection of the home and developed a customized solution. For the basement, he recommended our WaterGuard® interior drainage system, which was tied into a SuperSump Plus™ system to effectively collect and remove water before it could reach the living space.

The project also included the home's connected crawl space, which required a complete encapsulation. Our crew removed the existing insulation and debris, sealed the stacked stone walls with spray foam, installed SilverGlo™ wall insulation, laid drainage matting throughout the crawl space, and encapsulated the area with our durable CleanSpace® vapor barrier. To control humidity year-round, two SaniDry Sedona dehumidifiers were installed, along with a dedicated crawl space sump pump for additional water protection.

Thanks to this comprehensive waterproofing and encapsulation system, Erin now has a dry, healthy, and protected basement and crawl space that will provide peace of mind for years to come.
