Kristin, a homeowner in Reston, Virginia, called Fortress after seeing and smelling mold in their basement. Caleb came out and conducted an extensive evaluation, identifying groundwater intrusion as the source of the water. We removed the drywall and jackhammered the perimeter of the basement floor to install our WaterGuard® water management system, connecting it to a TripleSafe™ sump pump system to safely discharge the water far away from the foundation.
A homeowner in Reston, Virginia contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing significant bowing in their block basement walls. Water building in the soil outside the foundation had created something called hydrostatic pressure, pushing the walls inward over time. Concerned about worsening movement, the homeowner wanted a solution that addressed both the walls and problem. Mike and crew installed 13 CarbonArmor straps to stabilize the basement walls and help prevent further inward movement. A complete basement waterproofing system was also installed to collect and redirect water, helping relieve the hydrostatic pressure contributing to the bowing. Together, these systems provide a solution to help protect the basement for years to come.
