Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Arlington, Virginia had been dealing with water in his basement. He attempted to remedy the basement flooding issue with an inefficient open sump pump. Not only could this generic sump pump not keep the basement dry, but it not being sealed properly posed other issues. The open sump allowed moisture from the water it did collect to escape out into the space, which was causing the air to be humid and smell musty. He decided he needed a permanent fix, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our system designer went to the home and gave a free estimate and designed a system to remedy the problem. Fortress installed a waterproofing system that included our SuperSump pump, which is capable of pumping 2,200 gallons of water per hour. This SuperSump was installed with our UltraSump battery back up system that continues to pump up to 11,500 gallons of water during a power outage. All of our sump systems are air tight so moisture and smells can't escape into the air of the home. 

Tackling water intrusion challenges in Alexandria, VA, our team transformed a wet basement into a fortress against moisture. As seen in the before photo, unwanted water made itself at home, revealing efflorescence behind walls. System designer, Skylar followed our mission: replace worry with wellbeing. By installing our TripleSafe Sump Pump, IceGuard, CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona, and WaterGuard systems, we reclaimed this basement space, as showcased in the after photo. Our thrust for solving complex issues ensured a dry, serene, and reliable outcome—fortifying homes and peace of mind, alike.

This customer near Goldvein, VA, called Fortress Foundation Solutions after water in that basement was disturbing their business. They made an appointment with a Fortress System Designer who completed an inspection of the area. After explaining our products and process, they were interested in an all-inclusive package. After installing our WaterGuard System, the dry wall remained unfinished. Wanting to resume their business as soon as possible, our crew installed the Everlast Wall System. These are wall panels put up over the section of wall that must be cut to install our WaterGuard System. They go up quickly, look amazing and are moisture proof! Now this homeowner can keep their business going with no more interruptions.

This home in Norton, VA was having water come into the basement. This issue can become very severe leading to further problems if not taken care of in a timely manner or done correctly.  These homeowners called Fortress to get this job done right!

 Our System Designer, Robert Briggs, went out to this home and provided a free, no obligation estimate. Robert concluded the best solution to this issue would be our WaterGuard system with a SuperSump sump pump. This system gets the water to the SuperSump through the WaterGuard. The SuperSump pumps that water outside and away from the house. The final result: a clean, dry basement!

The existing sump location was not ideal for the water issued that were present in the home.  A new optimal location was chosen and in conjucntion with WaterGuard the Super Sump will efficiently and effective manage the water in the space.
