Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a WaterGuard french drain system that connected two rooms, CleanSpace wall system, and TripleSafe sump pump.

This basement in Poolesville had water seeping up through the foundation when it rained. The old sump pump stopped working and the basement was having flooding issues once again. The homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions to solve this problem. After assessing the home, Fortress determined that a full-perimeter WaterGuard, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier were the best solution. The WaterGuard will catch any water coming in and channel it to the TripleSafe where it will be pumped out of the basement. This homeowner no longer has to worry about a wet basement!

Leigh P. of Sterling, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions after her sump pump was not taking care of the water in the basement and was creating high moisture levels. Bad odors from stagnant water would wander out of the open pump pit into the basement as well. She met with System Designer Paul Heckman, who completed an inspection and offered a same-day proposal. Ready for a permanent solution, Leigh agreed. Clarence Copeland 'Cope' and his crew installed a WaterGuard drainage system so all water entering the home flows to the Triple Safe sump pump. The Triple Safe sump pump has a closed lid so moisture and bad odors aren't released from the sump pump. Now Leigh has the dry and odor free basement she always wanted!

After a large storm in the area, James H. began to notice moisture in his basement block wall. James' father had been in the basement waterproofing industry, so he knew that this was not something to leave unattended. He asked his father who he would recommend in the area to do the work, and his father suggested Fortress. After calling to schedule an appointment, System Designer Chris Wilmouth went out to assess the issue. He created a custom solution for James' basement, including a WaterGuard System, SumpPump, Vapor Barrier, and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. After explaining all of these products and the work that would take place, James accepted the plan that Chris put together for his home. Later, Foreman Cope and his crew came to install. They were able to get the project done on time and leave the space clean and ready to be used again. James was so thankful at the end of this process for the peace of mind he now had that his basement would be dry for years to come!

A homeowner near Chantilly, VA, called Fortress Foundation Solutions after dealing with water in their basement for 25 years! Getting older, they could no longer clean up the mess every time it rained. System Designer Chris Wilmouth met with them offering a permanent solution. Clarence Copeland 'Cope' was soon at their home with his crew installing our basement waterproofing system, including a TripleSafe Sump Pump. Our most powerful sump pump, the TripleSafe has two pumps and a third that turns on if the power goes out. Now this couple can enjoy their home well into their retirement years!
