Before & After Photos

Homeowner Helen, located in Frederick, Maryland, was in desperate need of a dehumidifier for her cellar. Moisture was collecting on her HVAC unit and water heater, and she didn’t like how damp the air felt - especially since she stored many of her seasonal items and belongings downstairs.

After a friend recommended Fortress Foundation Solutions, Helen reached out to us for help. Matt came out to inspect the property and knew the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier would be the perfect fit because Helen wanted a system she wouldn’t have to constantly maintain herself.

That same week, our service technician Donny installed the Sedona dehumidifier for her. Now, Helen’s humidity levels are under control, and she’s no longer dealing with excess moisture or condensation in her cellar.

Homeowners in New Market, Maryland reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing mold and signs of water intrusion behind their finished basement walls, as seen in the before photo.

We sent out one of our awesome System Designers to perform a full evaluation, and even without a hygrometer, the moisture intrusion was clearly apparent.

Our skilled foreman Nick and his crew were able to permanently waterproof the basement while minimizing disruption to the finished walls and flooring as much as possible. Now, the homeowners can confidently refinish their basement without concerns about mold growth or having to go through this process again.

Two weeks after moving into their dream home in Fairfax Station, this homeowner was greeted by an unexpected challenge—water intrusion in their basement following a bout of rain and snow. Instead of letting discouragement take root, they turned to us for a solution. With precision and care, we installed our WaterGuard® system, expertly channeled to guide unwanted water to safety and ensure their basement remains a welcoming, dry space. As you notice in the after photo, stability and peace of mind are restored, showcasing the transformative power of readiness and resilience.

In Vienna, Virginia, homeowner Anton started his day off on the wrong foot. He woke up before sunrise to get a workout in before work, but when he walked into his personal basement gym, he found water everywhere.

After the heavy rainstorm the night before, Anton knew he needed a permanent solution and reached out to Fortress to come out as soon as possible for a waterproofing estimate. He met with Paul and felt confident in what both Paul and Fortress had to offer.

Just three weeks later, Anton’s basement was professionally waterproofed and his basement gym was saved.
