Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a TripleSafe sump pump with external discharge.
This fully finished basement is being used an additional living space. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter french drain system and a TripleSafe sump pump with a battery backup and external drainage.
Garrett T. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after his installed sump pump was not taking care of the water in his basement, resulting in high moisture levels. He had tried to fix it himself, but his methods were unsuccessful. A System Designer completed an inspection and offered a free estimate. Ready for a permanent solution, Garrett agreed. A Fortress crew installied 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 which has a closed lid so moisture and bad odors aren't released from the sump pump and a battery back up. Now Garrett has the dry basement he always wanted!
Murphy B. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing water in his crawlspace after heavy rains. A System Designer met with Murphy, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The CleanSpace is in place to seal the home from the damp earth. Moisture and its damaging effects on the wood structure of the home are kept out. The final step is the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. It removes moisture from the air keeping the crawl space dry. When Murphy looks into his crawl space now, it is clean, dry and he knows his home is protected!
Water was coming in through the customers cinder block walls, both on the walls that met the outside and a wall that met an adjacent crawlspace. This was causing water damage to the items stored and rust on the HVAC and water heater. Another big problem was the musty odors so often associated with musty, moldy, wet basements. Fortress Foundation Solutions ran a full perimeter waterproofing system and reduced moisture from the walls with the BrightWall vapor barrier. Our SuperSump pump replaced the underperforming old pump they'd had and as a final measure, and our SaniDry air system keeps the house dry and the air clean and odor-free.
