A homeowner in Martinsburg, WV never realized she had a water intrusion problem until she began preparing for a yard sale and went down to her basement to clear out some junk. Once she started moving boxes, the problem became clear- fast. Moldy, musty, and wet walls had been hiding right in front of her the entire time.
She immediately reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions and scheduled her free estimate. Skylar was the System Designer for the project and completed a thorough inspection of the property. He not only found water sitting inside the block walls, but also discovered that the prolonged moisture had caused the walls to bow inward due to hydrostatic pressure.
This home needed more than just waterproofing - it also required a permanent wall stabilization solution. Mike was the foreman on the job and executed Skylar's proposal flawlessly. Now, this homeowner can enjoy a stable, safe, and healthy home for years to come.
In Clear Spring, Maryland, a homeowner was tired of dealing with a wet basement and finally decided to call Fortress Foundation Solutions.
Skylar was the System Designer assigned to the home and completed a full, comprehensive evaluation of the property. After his inspection, he recommended a complete waterproofing solution consisting of WaterGuard, our interior drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump system, a Sedona sani dry and Foamax wall insulation to help insulate the basement while providing a clean, finished appearance.
Nicholas and his crew followed Skylar's proposal and completed the project efficiently in just two days. The homeowner now has a dry, healthier basement and greater peace of mind knowing the space is protected from future water intrusion.
Dianne noticed after some recent heavy rain that water was making it's way into her basement. She had confidence that her old sump pump would be able to handle the water but unfortunately, it could not. Concerned about this, she reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to see if we could help. After having an appointment with one of our system designers, Dianne went forward with having a new, full perimeter waterproofing system installed in her basement. We utilized our WaterGuard Drainage system for this project, which feeds into a new TripleSafe Sump Pump and is discharged out of the house. Dianne is very happy that she got this worked completed and that her basement will be dry for years to come!
We love seeing clean, dry crawl spaces! This particular homeowner, whose crawl space was already encapsulated, noticed a musty smell coming from his crawl space, and when our System Designer, Paul Heckman, went down there, he found that water was seeping into the crawl space through the insulated walls, and designed a solution. Our Foreman, Charlie Evans, and his crew went in and removed some of the old insulation, and replaced it with our own SilverGlo Insulation. They lined the crawl space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and installed one of our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to ensure that our client's home stays clean and dry! No more musty smells for this homeowner!
