Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This client had water leaking into his basement, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions to come give him an estimate for waterproofing. We sent out our System Designer, Danny Camunas, to the client's property, where he did a thorough inspection and wrote up a quote. After the client accepted, our Foreman, David Bowers, and his crew went out to complete the project. They started out by drilling around the edge of the wall to make room for our WaterGuard. After putting that down, they filled the hole with gravel, topped it off with cement, and finished the inside with some of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier along the walls. Attached to the WaterGuard outside was our LawnScape Outlet for drainage, along with our IceGuard to prevent freezing during the winter. The customer was very happy with his newly dry basement!

This homeowner in Arlington, Virginia had been dealing with water in his basement. He attempted to remedy the basement flooding issue with an inefficient open sump pump. Not only could this generic sump pump not keep the basement dry, but it not being sealed properly posed other issues. The open sump allowed moisture from the water it did collect to escape out into the space, which was causing the air to be humid and smell musty. He decided he needed a permanent fix, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our system designer went to the home and gave a free estimate and designed a system to remedy the problem. Fortress installed a waterproofing system that included our SuperSump pump, which is capable of pumping 2,200 gallons of water per hour. This SuperSump was installed with our UltraSump battery back up system that continues to pump up to 11,500 gallons of water during a power outage. All of our sump systems are air tight so moisture and smells can't escape into the air of the home.
