Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Chris L. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after hearing great things from a friend. His stone foundation leaked leading to mold and musty smells. A System Designer, met with him, explained the solution Fortress could provide, and offered him a same-day estimate. Eager to reclaim the use of his basement, he agreed. Shortly after, a crew was on-site installing 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 and pumped out. Happy to be able to use his basement again, Chris is recommending Fortress to other friends.

In Crewe, homeowners faced frequent basement flooding and excessive humidity, as seen in the initial photo. To address these challenges, we installed an effective trio of solutions—our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system, TripleSafe sump pump, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. WaterGuard ensures water is channeled away from the foundation, protecting against leaks while remaining hidden beneath concrete. The TripleSafe sump pump provides reliable pumping capacity including a battery-backed unit for power outages. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona reduces mold, mildew, and any musty odors. Notice how these solutions transform and protect the space efficiently.

Carlos H. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after moving into his home and finding out the old sump pump no longer kept his basement dry. Pooling water had created high moisture levels and a bad smell. System Designer Danny Camunas was scheduled for a free estimate. After completing the inspection, he offered a same-day proposal for our WaterGuard Drainage system. Ready for a permanent solution, Carlos agreed. Foreman Clarence Copeland "Cope" and his crew installed a WaterGuard drainage system so all water entering the home flows to the sump pump. The Smart Sump sump pump has a closed lid so moisture and bad odors aren't released from the sump pump. Now Carlo has the dry basement he always wanted with no bad odors.
