A homeowner from Sandy Hook, VA, reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions when the water entering her basement became increasingly problematic. System Designer Brandon Conner met with her, explained the solution Fortress could provide, and offered her a same-day estimate. Eager to reclaim the use of her basement, she agreed. Shortly after, Clarence Copeland (Cope) and his crew were on-site installing a WaterGuard drainage system, Triple Safe Sump Pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Now, any water entering the home is drained to the Triple Safe and pumped out. The SaniDry dehumidifier maintains low moisture levels in the basement, reducing the risk of mildew and eliminating musty odors. Happy to be able to use their basement again, Fortress loves to help our customers have safe and healthy homes!
A customer in Damascus, MD called in complaining of basement water issues. Fortress Foundation Solutions was able to help by installing the Supersump sump pump and the WaterGuard floor drainage system with Trench Drain to address water in the basement area of the home. This customer chose to protect the full perimeter of the home, ensuring that all the water would be caught eliminating any future headaches.
Nathan R. was getting ready to purchase a home near Oakton, VA. The home inspector found some foundation damage around the chimney. Nathan wanted to have it checked before purchasing the home; so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. System Designer Santiago Garzon, our real estate expert, met with the potential home buyer. After an inspection, Santiago provided a free estimate for his recommendation - Push Piers. Push Piers are steel rods driven under the home's footer to provide stabilization and prevent further settlement. Nathan was then able to negotiate the price of the repair with the seller and purchase the home. After the closing, a Fortress crew completed the installation. Now Nathan can be confident knowing the foundation of his new home is secure!
