Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Arlington, Virginia had been dealing with water in his basement. He attempted to remedy the basement flooding issue with an inefficient open sump pump. Not only could this generic sump pump not keep the basement dry, but it not being sealed properly posed other issues. The open sump allowed moisture from the water it did collect to escape out into the space, which was causing the air to be humid and smell musty. He decided he needed a permanent fix, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our system designer went to the home and gave a free estimate and designed a system to remedy the problem. Fortress installed a waterproofing system that included our SuperSump pump, which is capable of pumping 2,200 gallons of water per hour. This SuperSump was installed with our UltraSump battery back up system that continues to pump up to 11,500 gallons of water during a power outage. All of our sump systems are air tight so moisture and smells can't escape into the air of the home. 

This customer in Fort Belvoir called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing water intrusion in their crawl space. Fortress sent a system designer out to conduct a free estimate and inspection. The customer was pleased with the proposal and went forward with the work. Our crews installed a water proofing system with a sump pump, covered with dimple matting and our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier system to give this customer peace of mind!

Tackling water intrusion challenges in Alexandria, VA, our team transformed a wet basement into a fortress against moisture. As seen in the before photo, unwanted water made itself at home, revealing efflorescence behind walls. System designer, Skylar followed our mission: replace worry with wellbeing. By installing our TripleSafe Sump Pump, IceGuard, CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona, and WaterGuard systems, we reclaimed this basement space, as showcased in the after photo. Our thrust for solving complex issues ensured a dry, serene, and reliable outcome—fortifying homes and peace of mind, alike.

This customer called because they were ready to list their home for sale, but needed to fix the water problem in the crawl space first. They were able to quickly get an appointment with Zach Bullock who completed an inspection and provided an estimate the same day. Charlie Evans, foreman, was able to come with his crew to regrade, install EZ flow drainage pipe and a SmartSump sump pump system to keep the crawlspace dry. A dry crawl space is at the top of home buyer's lists, making this home buyer ready!

This client wanted a standard encapsulation by a trustworthy company in her crawl space, so she contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our System Designer, Skylar Beverage, went out and mapped out a solution for her, and soon after, our crew went out to encapsulate her crawl space. They laid down our Drainage Matting before installing our SilverGlo Insulation on the walls, our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on the ground, and sealing it with our Rim Joist Insulation. We left our customer with a wonderfully clean, sealed crawl space!
