Before & After Photos

Luke Q., a homeowner near Marshall, VA, reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions. His basement was unsightly, damp and water came in with rain storms making it unusable. He met with a System Designer who provided the solution of a WaterGuard System with an Ultra 4 Sump Pump. The WaterGuard is a channel drainage system installed in a trench around the basement perimeter. Any water entering the basement flows through the WaterGuard directly to the Ultra Sump Pump and is pumped out and away from the home. Luke also chose to have CleanSpace installed on the walls. This antimicrobial vapor barrier channels any water entering the walls down and into the WaterGuard where it is pumped out. The white color brightens the space as well. Now Luke has the option to use his basement for anything he chooses - it is dry, clean and light!

Will G. of Charles Town, WV wanted to finish his basement, however water was coming into his basement with every rain. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions and made an appointment. A System Designer performed an inspection and using his moisture meter, could measure the high levels. He was able to give her a free estimate for a FlexiSpan. This is a flexible sealant that will never dry or crack and ensures a waterproof seal. Soon a Fortress Crew was at the home, and in a few hours the project was complete. Now when it rains, Will knows his basement will stay dry!

Chris L. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after hearing great things from a friend. His stone foundation leaked leading to mold and musty smells. A System Designer, met with him, explained the solution Fortress could provide, and offered him a same-day estimate. Eager to reclaim the use of his basement, he agreed. Shortly after, a crew was on-site installing a WaterGuard drainage system, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a Triple Safe Sump Pump. Now, any water entering the home is drained to the Triple Safe and pumped out. Happy to be able to use his basement again, Chris is recommending Fortress to other friends.

In Crewe, homeowners faced frequent basement flooding and excessive humidity, as seen in the initial photo. To address these challenges, we installed an effective trio of solutions—our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system, TripleSafe sump pump, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. WaterGuard ensures water is channeled away from the foundation, protecting against leaks while remaining hidden beneath concrete. The TripleSafe sump pump provides reliable pumping capacity including a battery-backed unit for power outages. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona reduces mold, mildew, and any musty odors. Notice how these solutions transform and protect the space efficiently.

Carlos H. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after moving into his home and finding out the old sump pump no longer kept his basement dry. Pooling water had created high moisture levels and a bad smell. System Designer Danny Camunas was scheduled for a free estimate. After completing the inspection, he offered a same-day proposal for our WaterGuard Drainage system. Ready for a permanent solution, Carlos agreed. Foreman Clarence Copeland "Cope" and his crew installed a WaterGuard drainage system so all water entering the home flows to the sump pump. The Smart Sump sump pump has a closed lid so moisture and bad odors aren't released from the sump pump. Now Carlo has the dry basement he always wanted with no bad odors.
