Before & After Photos

This basement in Harrisonburg had water seeping in with rain, so the homeowner reached out to Fortress for a solution to this problem.

Fortress solved this water intrusion issue by installing our WaterGuard System along the perimeter of the home, along with our CleanSpace Wall System, and a TripleSafe sump pump. These products will work together to keep this basement dry!

This homeowner in Mount Sidney, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions because they were tired of receiving water in their basement.

They were not entirely sure where the water was coming in from so our System Designer, Zach Bullock, went out to their home to assess the issues they were having. Zach informed the homeowner that the best solution would be to install our full perimeter WaterGuard System. 

Our WaterGuard System assured our customer that their basement would stay dry! This Drainage System is designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing.

Our System Designer, Zach Bullock, 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 the homeowner will never again have to worry about a wet basement!

This Mount Sidney home had a recurring issue with water intrusion in the basement, so the homeowner reached out to Fortress for a solution.

Our foreman and his crew went out to this home and installed our WaterGuard System along the perimeter basement walls, along with a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The WaterGuard will catch any water seeping in before it reaches the basement floor, any water will then drain to the TripleSafe where it will be pumped out of the home. These products will work together to keep this basement dry!

he owner of this home hired a general contractor to finish his basement. Before the work began on the basement, the contractor wanted to waterproof the basement. Fortress Foundation Solutions was the company this contractor chose to do the work. Although waterproofing a basement does not require an unfinished basement, it is slightly easier. This basement presented many challenges for Fortress, beginning with the block walls leaking water into the basement at the floor level. Standing water was found in numerous locations of this basement; standing water creates a moist/damp atmosphere that is susceptible to mold. Also, the basement’s current sump pump was faulty, requiring Fortress to install a new one.

Fortress was able to aid this contractor in the completion of this space. WaterGuard was installed all throughout this basement to ensure that the water leaking in was caught before it could spread to various other sections of the basement. Brightwall was installed to protect the walls from further water damage. Also, a SuperSump was placed in the basement to pump and remove the water from the basement. The SuperSump pushed water through a pump discharge (pipeoff) and a lawnscape to move the water away from the basement. After two days of installations, this basement was fully waterproof and ready for the general contractor to take his next steps in finishing this basement for its homeowner.
