Recently, a homeowner in Charlottesville reached out to us at Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns about persistent basement flooding. They reported water seeping through the foundation walls with each rainfall, causing damage and a lingering mustiness that made the space unusable.

Our process began with a comprehensive inspection by our System Design Specialist. After evaluating the basement, it was clear that an efficient waterproofing solution was necessary. We proposed a thorough remedy: the combination of WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and the SaniDry Sedona.

Our production team got straight to work. First, we installed the WaterGuard system along the perimeter. Nightly securing this beneath the basement floor but above the footing, it expertly channels any wall or joint seepage to the sump pump. This design remains unobtrusive, hidden from view but effectively in place.

The next step involved setting up the TripleSafe Sump Pump system. This distinct unit brings triple-layer security, ensuring performance even if water levels spike or a power outage occurs. The backup battery-powered pump offered additional assurance against unplanned inundations.

Lastly, to optimize the air quality, we fitted the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This helped cut humidity levels drastically, warding off mold growth and reducing those unpleasant odors that the homeowner previously contended with.

Together, these installations transformed the basement from a problematic space to a dry and healthy area. post-job follow-ups confirmed that the homeowner remained satisfied with our reliable and long-term solution. This waterproofing endeavor not only protected their home but allowed the basement to be reinvested into for storage or living without concern. As always, our commitment to a remarkable customer experience was evident from start to finish.

The CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system tackled the moisture issue head-on, converting the area into a dry, well-protected environment, resistant to mold and mildew. Using its 20-mil polyethylene composition, the encapsulation stands superior to once-used liners susceptible to UV damage and tearing.

SilverGlo insulated the crawl space walls, ensuring a highly efficient barrier against moisture. With its graphite-enhanced R-11 insulation capabilities, this installation aimed at reducing energy costs while improving structural integrity. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier anchored these enhancements, significantly lowering humidity levels and eradicating musty odors.

Here's how we addressed their concerns.

Upon contact, our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist then met with the homeowner, conducting a complete inspection and identifying excessive moisture as the main source of their discomfort. Mold growth potential and humid conditions posed risks to both their home’s structure and indoor air quality.

To combat these issues, we executed a comprehensive plan. Our dedicated production team installed our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system, a leading solution designed specifically to manage deterring abnormalities in these vulnerable areas. CleanSpace effectively sealed off the space, offering advanced moisture protection and safeguarding against molding scenarios.

Further enhancing the crawl space's defense, we integrated SilverGlo Crawl Space Wall Insulation, which provided a robust vapor barrier on their crawl space walls. This incorporation not only reinforced the structure’s insulation with R-11 efficiency but also effectively directed any moisture into designated drainage paths, minimizing risk.

Lastly, we installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, setting a new standard for drying performance and air quality. This device ensures humidity levels remain favorable and that any must-like odor conditions are rectified.

The outcome for the homeowner was wholeheartedly positive. Not only did we resolve the pressing problem of humidity and associated scents infiltrating their home, but our team also guaranteed a reliable environment bound to improve long-term comfort and reduced energy costs.

When a homeowner in Charlottesville contacted us, they were dealing with a recurring problem: a damp and unusable basement. The constant humidity and water intrusion had caused them a lot of concern. It's a situation we see all too often, and ensuring a dry basement is not only crucial for the comfort of the home but also for maintaining its structural integrity.

To address this issue, our Customer Care Specialist promptly set an inspection date. After a comprehensive evaluation by our System Design Specialist, we identified water seepage as the main challenge. We determined that installing a combination of WaterGuard drainage, a TripleSafe sump pump system, and SaniDry Sedona would resolve the issue effectively. 

Our production team arrived to install this solution. First, we carefully installed the WaterGuard system along the interior perimeter of the basement. This sub-floor drainage system effectively channeled water toward the sump pump, ensuring the basement remained free from water seepage. Next, we set up the TripleSafe sump pump. Its triple protection model guarantees defense against pump failures, power outages, and high water demands. Finally, the addition of the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier eradicated any lingering humidity, promoting a healthier and more comfortable living space above.

The result was a remarkable transformation. The basement, once wet and clammy, is now a dry, breathable space, allowing the homeowner to utilize it without worry. Our commitment at Fortress Foundation Solutions is to provide a reliable and enduring solution, and we’re proud to have restored peace of mind for another household.

We completed this project for the Reserve Apartment Complex in Charlottesville, Virginia. We have done several projects for the Reserve and they called us out again to inspect a section of sidewalk that had become uneven over the years. This was a high traffic area right by the community pool and clubhouse. Joe, one of our PolyLevel System Designers went out and took measurements and provided them with a quote for repairs. Knowing about our high standard of work, the Reserve chose to move forward and a few weeks later, Tim C and Jayden, one of our Concrete crews arrived on site. Over the course of a few hours, the team worked to pump PolyLevel under the slabs and returned it back to a clean, level surface. The residents at the Reserve can now use this area again without fear of tripping and injury.

When Susan and Chris from Charlottesville reached out to us at Fortress Foundation Solutions, they were concerned about the persistent dampness in their crawl space. The space was prone to moisture buildup, leading to unpleasant odors and the potential risk of mold and structural issues.

Our production team arrived, equipped to install a suite of highly effective products tailored for this situation. We started by installing the CleanSpace system, a durable vapor barrier designed to seal off the crawl space effectively. Its polyethylene fabric, treated with an antimicrobial finish, ensures long-lasting protection against mold and mildew.

To tackle humidity, we installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This powerful unit operates efficiently to keep the crawl space dry by maintaining humidity levels below 55%, thereby preventing mold growth and reducing dust mite populations.

Lastly, for energy efficiency and to thwart moisture further, SilverGlo insulation was applied to the crawl space walls. This system acts as a powerful vapor barrier, enhanced with graphite particles for superior insulation properties, ensuring the crawl space remains both dry and insulated.

When homeowners encounter persistent issues with a wet basement, it not only hampers the functionality of the space but also puts the structural integrity and the safety of their valuables at risk. Rose Myers from Charlottesville faced such a challenge, where water seepage had become a constant annoyance affecting her basement’s usability.

Rose contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions to address this problem. Our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled a home inspection. Following this, our System Design Specialist visited Rose’s property to conduct a thorough inspection. It was clear that an effective and permanent basement waterproofing solution was necessary.

The tailored solution began with the integration of the WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system. This system discreetly channels water away from both foundation walls and the floor-wall joint. Moreover, it is designed to be clog-free and efficiently captures all incoming water. In addition to the WaterGuard system, we installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump, ensuring optimal protection by using three layers of safety to manage unexpected high water levels or power failure situations.

Our dedicated production team executed the installation with precision. Before initiating the work, they ensured meticulous planning. Post installation, they neatly restored the appearance of the basement, leaving Rose with not only a dry and clean basement but also complete peace of mind.

At Fortress Foundation Solutions, we strive to provide reliable and long-lasting solutions to homeowners experiencing basement waterproofing issues. Rose’s successful project illustrates our commitment to delivering remarkable customer experiences and superior protection against future water problems.
