In Alexandria, Virginia, homeowners Amy and Richard were experiencing water intrusion, as seen in the before photo, even though they purchased the home with an existing waterproofing system already installed. Unfortunately, the phone number for the original company was out of service, and the company that installed the system had gone out of business - leaving the homeowners with no one to honor the warranties.
Knowing they needed a professional, long term solution, they reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions. Cara came out to perform a full evaluation and offered the homeowners something they couldn’t resist: a Lifetime of the Structure Warranty that is fully transferable and backed by our well established nationwide network.
The Alexandria homeowners agreed, and Gustavo and his crew got to work removing the failing system and installing a Fortress solution done the right way. As seen in the after photo, they upgraded from a small single pump sump system to our TripleSafe sump pump system featuring three pumps and a battery backup for added protection and peace of mind.
Homeowners in Alexandria, VA were experiencing water intrusion and hydrostatic pressure buildup in their basement. The hydrostatic pressure not only forced water through the block walls but also caused the walls to bow inward.
Our solution was to install a full-perimeter waterproofing system to relieve the hydrostatic pressure and direct groundwater to a sump pump for proper discharge. To address the structural concerns, we also installed five CarbonArmor® straps to stabilize the bowing wall and help prevent any further inward movement.
Homeowners in Sykesville, Maryland, contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing a crack in the concrete slab of their unfinished basement. Concerned that the crack would continue to worsen, they made the right decision and scheduled a free inspection.
Our System Designer, Riley, performed a thorough evaluation of the property and discovered that the entire left corner of the home was settling. After identifying the cause of the problem, he recommended installing a 3 Push Pier System to permanently stabilize the sinking section of the home's foundation.
Push piers transfer the weight of the structure to stable soil below, helping prevent further settlement and protecting the home's structural integrity for the long term. Once installed, the homeowners gained the peace of mind that comes with Fortress Foundation Solutions' fully transferable lifetime warranty, ensuring their home is protected for years to come.
