Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Theresa I. of Ellicott City, MD, wanted to finish her basement for added living space. However, water coming in had made this impossible. She called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate to get her basement waterproofed. After meeting with System Designer Riley Ethier, and having all her questions answered, she was ready for a dry basement! It was important to her to have the sump pump out of sight, so Riley found the perfect place - under the stairs! Now all of the basement can be used for added living space. Our system designers and crews work hard to accommodate customer's wants and needs as often as possible. Nick Mori and his crew took care of Theresa's home by installing a WaterGuard drainage system and Triple Safe Sump Pump. All water entering the basement will flow into the WaterGuard, will be gravity fed to the sump pump where it will be pumped out and away from the home. The Triple Safe has a battery back up and will continue to pump even if the power goes out. Now Theresa's basement is a dry, blank slate for her to finish the space she has been dreaming about!

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter french drain system, TripleSafe sump pump with battery backup, and external discharge.

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a Super Sump Plus sump pump with WaterGuard to prevent futher flooding in the basement.

Heather called Fortress Foundation Solutions about water collecting in her basement. After setting an appointment, Paul, one of our expert system designers went out to the home and found water seeping into the basement through the walls. Paul completed a full inspection and presented the homeowner with a proposal and a quote. She was happy with both and decided to move forward with the work. When our Foreman, Travis, and his crew went out to fix the issue, they utilized our WaterGuard drainage solution on the floor below to ensure that any water that was collected drained to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, which was then transferred to the discharge line outside of the home.

This customer is very satisfied with the work and happy that water intrusion will no longer be an issue in her home!

Our client noticed water damage in their basement, and knew immediately that it requited more than a quick DIY fix. Wanting to find a company that would be professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy to work on his home, he reached out to Fortress for an estimate. System Designer Chris Guill went out to the home to asses the needs of the basement. He determined that a full waterproofing system would be necessary to stop further damage from being done. Soon after, our team went out to install a SuperSump and WaterGuard which will catch and drain any water attempting to enter the space.
