Halifax, VA Basement Waterproofing & Bowing Wall Repair

The basement of this home in Halifax had a problem with water intrusion, and also had some cracking and bowing in the cinder block walls. The homeowner reached out to Fortress for a solution on how to keep their basement dry, and also have those walls stabilized and supported.

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. He also recommended we install 9 power braces to stabilize the walls and prevent further bowing.

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. The PowerBrace system permanently stabilizes your home's foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fit to your basement wall height and secured tight against your basement wall with brackets anchored to your basement floor and floor joists. PowerBrace's can be tightened over time, potentially reversing wall failure without any invasive drilling or digging on the property.
