Jessica was dealing with ongoing water intrusion in the basement of her Winchester home. Over time, the excess moisture contributed to one of the basement walls beginning to bow inward, raising concerns about the long-term stability of her foundation.
Cope and his crew installed a complete repair solution, including a WaterGuard waterproofing system, TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and 10 CarbonArmor wall support straps. As shown in the after photo, the basement is now dry, the humidity is under control, and the bowing wall has been permanently reinforced to help prevent further movement.
Jimi H. of Berkeley Springs, WV noticed water damage in his unfinished basement after a weekend of heavy rain. He recognized it was time to contact Fortress Foundation Solutions and schedule his complimentary estimate.
System Designer Kurtis Toppert identified that the pressure from the heavy rains had led to a buildup of water near the foundation, causing a hairline crack that allowed water to seep in—a phenomenon known as hydrostatic pressure.
Kurtis swiftly addressed the crack by utilizing flexible carbon fiber fabric straps called CarbonArmor which are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. Using high-strength epoxy resin, the carbon fiber straps were bonded to the interior face of the wall. They dried quickly and will not affect future basement finishing plans.
Immar and Edgar served as the foremen on this project. After applying the CarbonArmor, they covered the wall with in BrightWall and installed our WaterGuard system around the entire perimeter to ensure a consistently dry basement. Furthermore, they tied our WaterGuard system into our Triple Safe Sump Pump system, providing these homeowners with complete and total peace of mind.
A wet basement can lead to major issues, as the photos from our recent project in Glengary, WV show. The homeowner faced water intrusion compromising the basement’s stability and air quality. Notice the transformation achieved with our advanced Basement Waterproofing solutions. We seamlessly installed the robust TripleSafe Sump Pump system, CleanSpace encapsulation, and WaterGuard drainage. This combination effectively diverts water away, as you can see in the 'after' photo. The result is a healthy, stable, and dry living area that homeowners can confidently utilize without fear of future water damage.
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.
In Clear Spring, Maryland, a homeowner was tired of dealing with a wet basement and finally decided to call Fortress Foundation Solutions.
Skylar was the System Designer assigned to the home and completed a full, comprehensive evaluation of the property. After his inspection, he recommended a complete waterproofing solution consisting of WaterGuard, our interior drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump system, a Sedona sani dry and Foamax wall insulation to help insulate the basement while providing a clean, finished appearance.
Nicholas and his crew followed Skylar's proposal and completed the project efficiently in just two days. The homeowner now has a dry, healthier basement and greater peace of mind knowing the space is protected from future water intrusion.
