In the before photo, notice the dampness and risk of flooding that Melanie faced in her Charlottesville, Virginia basement. Our team at Fortress Foundation Solutions expertly resolved this by installing a reliable WaterGuard® perimeter drainage system, as well as the TripleSafe™ sump pump. WaterGuard® channels seepage away, preventing clogs, while the TripleSafe™ system ensures fail-safe pumping during high-demand conditions and power outages. This comprehensive setup keeps the basement reliably dry, overcoming the previous challenges persuasively, enhancing both storage value and homeowner peace of mind.
Allen was dealing with water entering his Charlottesville basement during heavy rains. Tired of the constant cleanup and concerned about the impact on his foundation, he contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a permanent waterproofing solution. Cope and his crew installed a complete basement waterproofing system, including WaterGuard® drainage, two SuperSump® sump pumps, and CleanSpace® Wall. As shown in the after photos, the basement is now dry, protected, and equipped to handle future water intrusion with confidence.
This homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had noticed their basement walls had started bowing inwards. Fortress went out to assess the issues this homeowner was having and reommended that they have us install our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. This system includes flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. The greast thing about this system is that after the installation, you are still able to potentially finish your basement!
This homeowner gave Fortres a call because they had been receiving water into their basement but had no idea where the water was coming in from. One of our System Designers went out to inspect their home to see what the best solution for their home would be.
Fortress recommended to this homeowner that they should have us install our Full Perimeter WaterGuard System along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump. Our WaterGuard System is designed to catch any water that may try to enter your basement and pushes it through to the sump pump.
Jerome was dealing with two major basement issues in his Charlottesville home. Pressure from the surrounding soil had caused one of the basement walls to begin bowing inward, while water intrusion was creating additional concerns about the condition of the foundation.
To address both problems, Cope and his crew installed our WaterGuard® Basement Waterproofing System along with 12 CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing Straps. The WaterGuard® system helps keep the basement dry by capturing and directing water away, while the CarbonArmor® straps stabilize the wall and help prevent further inward movement
