Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

The basement of the Buffalo Junction home had a recurring issue with water seeping in through the foudation with rain. The homeowner reached out to Fortress to see what could be done to solve this problem.

Fortress went out and installed our CleanSpace Wall System, along with our WaterGuard XL System, and 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 basement will remain dry!

This home in Buffalo Junction, VA was experiencing water issues in their basement. Fortress Foundation Solutions came out and installed our Water Guard system to catch any water coming in at the footer of the wall and also, we put in a Triple Safe sump pump to take the water caught and pump it outside of the home. No more leaky basement for these homeowners!

Ming L. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing musty smells coming from her crawl space. After investigating, she discovered mildew and moisture beginning to damage her wooden floor joists and falling down, moisture-saturated insulation. System Designer Chris Wilmouth met with Ming, inspected her crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation, CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The CleanSpace keeps out moisture and the SilverGlo insulates to keep the home warm in winter and cool in the summer. The Sedona keeps dry air circulating throughout a 3000 square foot area and filters tiny micro particles from the air. Ming has now protected his most important asset - her home!

Theresa I. of Ellicott City, MD, wanted to finish her basement for added living space. However, water coming in had made this impossible. She called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate to get her basement waterproofed. After meeting with System Designer Riley Ethier, and having all her questions answered, she was ready for a dry basement! It was important to her to have the sump pump out of sight, so Riley found the perfect place - under the stairs! Now all of the basement can be used for added living space. Our system designers and crews work hard to accommodate customer's wants and needs as often as possible. Nick Mori and his crew took care of Theresa's home by installing a WaterGuard drainage system and Triple Safe Sump Pump. All water entering the basement will flow into the WaterGuard, will be gravity fed to the sump pump where it will be pumped out and away from the home. The Triple Safe has a battery back up and will continue to pump even if the power goes out. Now Theresa's basement is a dry, blank slate for her to finish the space she has been dreaming about!

A homeowner near Laurel, MD, called Fortress Foundation Solutions. Their brick steps had settled and were crumbling at the grout line. One of our system designers went out for an inspection. He knew our PolyLevel Foam Injection System would lift and level the steps, but most importantly, NexusPro Sealant would seal the stairs keeping them from further damage. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility. It stands up to harsh weather conditions and unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry out. A single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, pool deck, steps, or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout. This homeowner chose to protect their steps with NexusPro and they're glad they did!
