Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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. 

This house was experiencing water intrusion issues along the front wall of the home. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a WaterGaurd system and Super Sump + to address the issues with water coming into the front wall of the basement.

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a TripleSafe sump pump with external discharge.

This fully finished basement is being used an additional living space. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter french drain system and a TripleSafe sump pump with a battery backup and external drainage.

Garrett T. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after his installed sump pump was not taking care of the water in his basement, resulting in high moisture levels. He had tried to fix it himself, but his methods were unsuccessful. A System Designer completed an inspection and offered a free estimate. Ready for a permanent solution, Garrett agreed. A Fortress crew installied a WaterGuard drainage system, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a Triple Safe Sump Pump. Now any water entering the home is drained to the Triple Safe which has a closed lid so moisture and bad odors aren't released from the sump pump and a battery back up. Now Garrett has the dry basement he always wanted!
