Healthy and happier home in Fairfax, VA

Challenge

In the heart of Fairfax, VA, homeowners faced a common yet challenging issue—a perpetually damp and moldy basement that felt disconnected from the warmth and comfort they desired throughout their home. This unseen invader turned the basement into a space they avoided—no longer usable for storage or as a livable extension of their home. The persistent moisture not only compromised the functionality of the space but also raised concerns about the safety and overall well-being of their home.

Solution

Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, the homeowners reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions. The process began with a call to our Customer Care Specialist, who quickly arranged an inspection at a convenient time.

Our experienced System Designer visited the home, listened carefully to the homeowners' concerns, and conducted a thorough evaluation of the entire basement. The assessment confirmed that excessive moisture was steadily degrading both the space and the spirit of the home.

To address these issues, we proposed a comprehensive basement waterproofing solution that included:

• WaterGuard® – Installed beneath the surface perimeter, this system formed a discreet but powerful defense against water seepage.

• CleanSpace® – Applied across the basement walls, this liner helped eliminate mold and excess moisture while giving the space a cleaner, brighter appearance.

• TripleSafe™ Sump Pump – A reliable, high-performance system designed to keep the basement dry in all conditions, offering peace of mind and lasting protection.

Our production team executed the project with precision, prioritizing both safety and quality. With these systems in place, the basement was transformed from a damp, unwelcoming area into a vibrant and secure part of the home.

Now, the once-flawed space stands strong, offering new opportunities for storage, expansion, and comfort. This transformation reinforced the home’s foundation—not just structurally, but as a place filled with care, intention, and lasting wellness.
