This cinderblock wall basement was leaking from the walls. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter french drain system and TripleSafe sump pump with external discharge.
The basement of this home in Fork Union had water intrusion issues. The homeowner reached out to Fortress to see what could be done to resolve this issue.
Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to assess this home and determined that the best solution would be to install our WaterGuard XL System along the perimeter of the basement, along with a SuperSump sump pump.
Our WaterGuard System is designed to capture any wall or floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor, any water will then drain to the SuperSump and be pumped out of the home. Together these products will ensure that this homeowner will never again have to worry about a wet basement!
This basement had an existing sump pump, which we removed and replaced with a TripleSafe.
This is the beginning phase of one of our recent projects. The homeowner's request was for Fortress Foundation Solutions to fix the floors and dirt basement area of her home.
Our production team cleared out the area and leveled the dirt floor. CleanSpace encapsulation system was installed to isolate the house from the ground helping to control tempature and moisture within the space. Smart Jacks replaced wooden supports to lift and stabilize the beams and floor joists. The threaded rods within the steel comuns allowed for adjustment and custom fit for each Smart Jack installed. The Super Sump plus pumping system was installed to keep water draining away from the area. With the high-end 1/3 horsepower Zoeller pump, this system has the best pump available, pumping nearly 2650 gallons of water an hour. The patented SuperLiner has an airtight lid to prevent debris from getting in and moisture and odors from getting out. This sump system also includes the WaterWatch alarm system that will sound if water rises above the point where pump should turn on to alert of any potential problems before damage occurs. The transformation of this area now provides additional storage and a clean, protected environment for the homeowner.
This homeowner came to Fortress Foundation Solutions with several wall cracks inside and outside of their home from foundation settlement. Fortress solved this by installing five PushPiers that will support the foundation and prevent any further cracking.
