Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

In the before photo, Cory’s basement in Galax, Virginia is clearly dealing with moisture issues. Water was seeping in, leaving damp spots and making the space uncomfortable and at risk for damage.

To solve the problem, we installed a full waterproofing system. In the “after” photo, you can see the WaterGuard drainage system in place, directing water away from the basement. We paired it with a TripleSafe sump pump for dependable protection against flooding. We also added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep humidity in check and improve air quality.

Now, Cory’s basement is dry, cleaner, and much more usable.

Greg W. had taken a look in his crawl space to see about some plumbing repairs and noticed evidence of moisture along the walls. Having only owned the home for a few years, he was unsure of the severity of the moisture intrusion. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate. A System Designer met with Greg, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The CleanSpace is in place to seal the home from the damp earth. Moisture and its damaging effects on the wood structure of the home are kept out. The final step is the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. It removes moisture from the air keeping the crawl space dry. When Greg looks into his crawl space now, it is clean, dry and he knows his home is protected!

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a WaterGuard french drain system that connected two rooms, CleanSpace wall system, and TripleSafe sump pump.

This home in the Pulaski area received 13 push piers to completely stabilize the foundation. In this instance, all piers were installed from inside the basement.

The basement of this home in Pulaski had a problem with water intrusion when it rained. The homeowner reached out to Fortress because they wanted a permanent solution and a dry basement.

Our System Designer, Chris Guill, went to look at the home and recommended a WaterGuard XL System along the perimeter of the basement, along with a TripleSafe Sump Pump and a SaniDry XP dehumidifier.

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 TripleSafe and be pumped out of the home. Together these products will ensure that this homeowner will never have to worry about a wet basement again!
