Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Fortress Foundation Solutions received a call from this homeowner due to issues concerning her basement. She explained that her basement was damp and musty because of the moist environment; she also had efflorescence on the floor and walls of the basement. The mustiness and dampness of this space was due to unwanted water and high humidity levels in the basement. The root of the moisture problem was tracked to the basement’s malfunctioning sump pump. Fortress was happy to help this homeowner address all of her basement waterproofing problems. The sump pump was replaced with a SuperSump. A gravity exit was also installed to aid in the removal of the unwanted water. Other drainage systems were also installed: the WaterGuard Port. This helped with the water problems that this basement was experiencing. On the outside of the home, IceGuard and Lawnscape were installed, along with a pump discharge and pipeoff. All of these solutions work to help rid this basement of its musty and damp atmosphere.

This basement in Thurmont was in desperate need of some help! The old sump pump stopped working and the basement was flooding when it rained again. The walls had several ugly water stains and mold was also growing on the walls. The homeowners called Fortress Foundation Solutions to save their basement. Our System Designer went out to the home and assessed the damage. They decided that a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, a full-perimeter WaterGuard, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, BrightWall Basement Wall Panels, and a SaniDry Sedona would be the best solution. BrightWall Panels are a rigid plastic sheeting that's attached to your basement wall by drilled-in plastic fasteners. Its bright white color maximizes the available light in your basement, creating a cheerful, clean-looking space. Our foreman went out and installed these products and ensure that this basement will stay clean and dry for years to come. 

This cinderblock wall basement was leaking from the walls. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter french drain system and TripleSafe sump pump with external discharge.

The basement of this home in Fork Union had water intrusion issues. The homeowner reached out to Fortress to see what could be done to resolve this issue.

Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to assess this home and determined that the best solution would be to install our WaterGuard XL System along the perimeter of the basement, along with a SuperSump sump pump.

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

This basement had an existing sump pump, which we removed and replaced with a TripleSafe.
