Apples and Oranges: Comparing Systems That Work with Those That Don't

Have a wet basement and need a solution? Many people try using generic products with easy do-it-yourself installations because they believe it is the quickest and cheapest way to fix the problem. However, most basement problems cannot be permanently solved with generic products, and you'll find yourself back at square one with a wet basement. Save time and money by having a professional from Fortress Foundation Solutions install basement waterproofing products such as WaterGuard, TripleSafe, and SaniDry that keep your basement dry.

WaterGuard

WaterGuard is a better option than other waterproofing systems because it will not clog. It is installed on top of the footing rather than beside it, so mud and dirt cannot build up inside of it. It has large holes in the back to accept water and carry it elsewhere. It also catches any wall seepage without allowing debris from the floor to enter. The WaterGuard system can be used with all types of foundations including block, poured concrete, and stone. The WaterGuard, along with the TripleSafe, is the perfect solution to a wet basement.

Triple Safe

The TripleSafe drains water collected from the WaterGuard and pumps it out of the basement. It contains 3 pumps and a alarm that sounds off when water leakage is detected. If pump 1 fails, pump 2 takes over. If pump 1 can't keep up, both pumps 1 and 2 operate. If the power fails, a battery-operated UltraSump (pump 3) takes over. Also, a SaniDry Basement Air System can be setup to drain automatically into the TripleSafe. Unlike dehumidifiers that have to emptied manually, SaniDry makes life just a little bit easier for the homeowner.

SaniDry

A SaniDry Basement Air System is the most effective way to dry the air in the basement or crawl space. It keeps the humidity down, keeps odors away, and prevents mold from growing in the space. A big aspect of the SaniDry that sets it apart is that it also acts as an air filtration system as well as a dehumidifier. The SaniDry uses a two-filter system to keep the air clean-a prefilter for large dust particles and a second filter that takes out particles as small as two microns. The SaniDry keeps the air dry and clean, making is less costly and easier to keep the space heated and air conditioned.
