Nelson County, VA Detailed Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair

This home in Afton,VA had noticed the foundation wall in their basement had began to bow. This could be caused by settlement, outside pressure in the dirt or wall decay. If this problem goes without being fixed the wall will get worse and could potentially collapse. These homeowners called Fortress Foundation Solutions to resolve this issue. After our System Designer went out, he knew the best solution to the problem would he our Power Brace system. The crew first began by taking wall measurements to see how long these braces needed to be. The they cut the races to fit the wall. Once the Power Brace was fit for the wall, they began the process of keeping these braces in place. They bolt the Power Braces into the wall. This was the best solution to this issue because the Power Braces prevent further movement of the wall.   

This homeowner in Arrington, VA reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions because they were tired of cleaning water out of their basement every time it rained, and wanted a dry space to store things. 

After speaking to one of our Customer Care Members and scheduling a free estimate, we had our System Designer Zach go out to find the best waterproofing solution for this homeowner. Once Zach had finished evaluating this basement he recommended installing WaterGuard along the perimeter basement walls, along with two TripleSafe sump pumps, and a TrenchDrain. Zach thoroughly explained to the homeowner how the system would work to catch and pump out any water seepage before it could reach the basement floor, and also discussed the placement of the sump pumps and exterior discharge lines. The homeowner liked this solution, and we had our Foreman Charlie, and his crew go out and install these products.

The homeowner is happy with their waterproofing system and is enjoying having a dry basement. Fortress Foundation Solutions is pleased that we could provide a solution to keep this home dry, once and for all!
