Professional waterproofing in Martinsburg, WV

A homeowner in Martinsburg, WV never realized she had a water intrusion problem until she began preparing for a yard sale and went down to her basement to clear out some junk. Once she started moving boxes, the problem became clear- fast. Moldy, musty, and wet walls had been hiding right in front of her the entire time.

She immediately reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions and scheduled her free estimate. Skylar was the System Designer for the project and completed a thorough inspection of the property. He not only found water sitting inside the block walls, but also discovered that the prolonged moisture had caused the walls to bow inward due to hydrostatic pressure.

This home needed more than just waterproofing - it also required a permanent wall stabilization solution. Mike was the foreman on the job and executed Skylar's proposal flawlessly. Now, this homeowner can enjoy a stable, safe, and healthy home for years to come.

Crawl space transformation in Martinsburg, WV

 

Mr. Lewis, a homeowner in Martinsburg, West Virginia, reached out to Fortress after his 1980s home started feeling “musty,” as he described it.

We began by removing debris from the crawl space and installing drainage matting. Next, we installed SilverGlo insulation along the perimeter walls, followed by our CleanSpace vapor barrier. We also insulated the rim joists and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

Now, Mr. Lewis’s home has the best possible protection against moisture and musty odors.

Preventative measures in Martinsburg, West Virginia

West Virginia homeowner Jim had recently built his home on his family’s land. Shortly after moving in full time, he noticed that substantial rainstorms created major puddles near his front door. Beyond the inconvenience of wet shoes, Jim knew the standing water could lead to serious damage over time.

He called Fortress for an inspection, and System Designer Riley arrived on the scene. Riley found no signs of water intrusion inside the Martinsburg home, he identified the potential for water to continue building up near the foundation.

 

The solution was an exterior drainage system installed around the patio to collect the puddling water and discharge it 32 feet away from the foundation - helping keep the home protected for years to come.
