Thursday, October 29th, 2020 by Janelle Joseph

Challenge

This homeowner in Halifax,VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions with concern about water coming into the basement along with a wall that was beginning to bow inward. Our System Designer was able to go out to this home and provide a permanent solution.

Solution

Our Foreman,and his crew went to install the following products that were suggested by our System Designer. This solution included Power Braces. Power Braces help to support a weakened wall. This product prevents the wall from collapsing any further. Our crew also installed our Water Guard system. This system uses a sump pump to pump water out of the home through a discharge that is placed outside of the home. To insure no humidity and moisture was in the home, this homeowner also purchased a SaniDry Dehumidifier.

In this photo you can begin to see the cracking in the wall. You can also see at the floor where water has come into the home,

This photo shows the final product of our work. You can see the Power Braces that were installed to support the wall. You can also see in the bottom right corner the sump pump and the cover Water Guard system.
