Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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.

A homeowner in Manchester, MD already had an existing waterproofing system in their basement but contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a proper sump pump installation. Our team installed a SuperSump®+, a reliable single-pump system designed to keep the basement dry.

The SuperSump®+ is our most basic sump pump option and does not include a battery backup. After discussing their needs, the homeowner felt confident that this system would provide the protection they were looking for. If their needs change in the future, the system can easily be upgraded within the same basin to include additional protection and backup options.

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.
