Before & After

West Virginia homeowner Jim had recently built his home on his family’s land. Shortly after moving in full time, he noticed that substantial rainstorms created major puddles near his front door. Beyond the inconvenience of wet shoes, Jim knew the standing water could lead to serious damage over time.
He called Fortress for an inspection, and System Designer Riley arrived on the scene. Riley found no signs of water intrusion inside the Martinsburg home, he identified the potential for water to continue building up near the foundation.
The solution was an exterior drainage system installed around the patio to collect the puddling water and discharge it 32 feet away from the foundation - helping keep the home protected for years to come.
Marsha, a homeowner in Bluefield, Virginia, had a below grade garage that was constantly damp, moldy, and flooded with water. Over time, the moisture began affecting the integrity of her garage and foundation.
She reached out to Fortress for a free, comprehensive inspection of her home. Scott, one of our awesome skilled System Designers explained the science behind waterproofing and proposed a long term solution for the water issues in her basement and garage.
Marsha ultimately chose a full perimeter WaterGuard system, a CleanSpace wall vapor barrier, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and an Aspen air purifier. Since the installation, she has reached out to Fortress to share how dry and clean her home feels - even after a huge rainstorm!
