Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Bristow, VA homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions after cracks in the basement walls and water coming in the cracks became unmanageable. He was unable to use his basement for storage as the items became moldy. Our system designer recommended a basement water proofing system. Eager to reclaim the space, the homeowner proceeded. Soon a water proofing crew was onsite installing WaterGuard drainage, a Triple Safe Sump Pump and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on the walls. The CleanSpace is antimicrobial and directs all water seeping through the walls down into the WaterGuard. It is then drained to the sump pump and pumped out of the home. Now this Bristow, VA basement is dry and the space usable again!

Maria S. of Woodsboro, MD, experienced water coming into her basement with every rain. She called Fortress Foundation Solutions and made an appointment for a free estimate. A System Designer performed an inspection and using his moisture meter, could measure the high levels. He was able to give her a free estimate for a FlexiSpan. This is a flexible sealant that will never dry or crack and ensures a waterproof seal. Soon a Fortress installer was at the home and in a few hours the project was complete. Now when it rains, Maria knows her basement will stay dry!

Leigh P. of Sterling, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions after her sump pump was not taking care of the water in the basement and was creating high moisture levels. Bad odors from stagnant water would wander out of the open pump pit into the basement as well. She met with System Designer Paul Heckman, who completed an inspection and offered a same-day proposal. Ready for a permanent solution, Leigh agreed. Clarence Copeland 'Cope' and his crew installed a WaterGuard drainage system so all water entering the home flows to the Triple Safe sump pump. The Triple Safe sump pump has a closed lid so moisture and bad odors aren't released from the sump pump. Now Leigh has the dry and odor free basement she always wanted!

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter french drain to a TripleSafe sump pump with battery backup and external drainage.

Basement water problems can lead to mold and mildew as well as further property damage. After being provided with a free estimate, this homeowner was ready to prevent any of those problems! Fortress Foundation Solutions installed our WaterGuard floor drainage system, as well as, the TripleSafe sump pump to keep any water from coming into the home.  Finally, to keep the basement dry, the SaniDry Sedona was installed maintaining low humidity.
