This homeowner near West Augusta, VA reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions when the water entering her basement became increasingly problematic. System Designer Sonny Kingsbury met with her, explained the solution Fortress could provide, and offered her a same-day estimate. Ready to have a dry basement, she agreed. Shortly after, Clarence Copeland (Cope) and his crew were on-site installing a WaterGuard drainage system and a Super Sump Sump Pump. A trench is carefully made around the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard is set into the trench and covered back over with concrete and smoothed out. The WaterGuard is set so that any water entering the home is drained to the Super Sump and pumped out. Happy to be able to use their basement again, Fortress loves to help our customers have safe and healthy homes!
Super Sump Sump Pump
Any water coming into the basement, will get channeled through the WaterGuard down into the sump pump and pumped outside of the home.
Perimeter Trench
At Fortress, we treat the water inside the basement. No matter what changing environmental factors happen outside, this home will always be protected!
WaterGuard Covered
The WaterGuard gets covered over with concrete and smoothed to the original floor.
