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.
In Fairfax, VA, a homeowner faced a problem that many understand—a musty, wet basement impacting their home's safety. As seen in the before photo, moldy walls threatened comfort and health. This is more than a home improvement; it's about revitalizing safety and peace of mind. We stepped in to turn things around by installing our reliable WaterGuard®, coupled with the TripleSafe™ sump pump and CleanSpace® encapsulation systems. These solutions eradicated moisture issues, creating a healthy and dependable environment. Notice the transformation in the after photo—a stable, safe, and uplifting space.

Skylar completed a full inspection and presented the homeowner with a proposal and a quote. She was happy with both and decided to move forward with the work.

Jimi H. of Berkeley Springs, WV noticed water damage in his unfinished basement after a weekend of heavy rain. He recognized it was time to contact Fortress Foundation Solutions and schedule his complimentary estimate.
System Designer Kurtis Toppert identified that the pressure from the heavy rains had led to a buildup of water near the foundation, causing a hairline crack that allowed water to seep in—a phenomenon known as hydrostatic pressure.
Kurtis swiftly addressed the crack by utilizing flexible carbon fiber fabric straps called CarbonArmor which are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. Using high-strength epoxy resin, the carbon fiber straps were bonded to the interior face of the wall. They dried quickly and will not affect future basement finishing plans.
Immar and Edgar served as the foremen on this project. After applying the CarbonArmor, they covered the wall with in BrightWall and installed our WaterGuard system around the entire perimeter to ensure a consistently dry basement. Furthermore, they tied our WaterGuard system into our Triple Safe Sump Pump system, providing these homeowners with complete and total peace of mind.
A wet basement can lead to major issues, as the photos from our recent project in Glengary, WV show. The homeowner faced water intrusion compromising the basement’s stability and air quality. Notice the transformation achieved with our advanced Basement Waterproofing solutions. We seamlessly installed the robust TripleSafe Sump Pump system, CleanSpace encapsulation, and WaterGuard drainage. This combination effectively diverts water away, as you can see in the 'after' photo. The result is a healthy, stable, and dry living area that homeowners can confidently utilize without fear of future water damage.
