Before & After Photos

The basement of this home in Charlottesville had water seeping in along the foundation with rain, so the homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to get the issue resolved.

Fortress went out to this home and installed our WaterGuard System along the perimeter of the home, and connected that to an existing sump pump. The WaterGuard will catch any water seeping in before it reaches the basement floor. Any water will then drain to the sump pump where it will be pumped out of the home. These products will work together to keep this basement dry!

This basement in Charlottesville had water seeping up through the foundation when it rained. The homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions to solve this problem. After assessing the home, Fortress determined that a full-perimeter WaterGuard, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier were the best solution. The WaterGuard will catch any water coming in and channel it to the TripleSafe where it will be pumped out of the basement. This homeowner no longer has to worry about a wet basement!

In Charlottesville, a homeowner struggled with a persistently wet basement, as shown in the first photo. To resolve this, we installed our WaterGuard® sub-floor perimeter drainage system, effectively collecting wall and floor water seepage before it reached the basement floor. This guides the water to the TripleSafe™ sump pump system, shown in the after photo, which ensures reliable water removal, even in power failures. Thanks to these precisely designed solutions, his basement is now dry and protected, providing a secure space for storage and other uses.

Our team at Fortress Foundation Solutions expertly resolved this by installing a reliable WaterGuard® perimeter drainage system, as well as the TripleSafe™ sump pump. WaterGuard® channels seepage away, preventing clogs, while the TripleSafe™ system ensures fail-safe pumping during high-demand conditions and power outages. This comprehensive setup keeps the basement reliably dry, overcoming the previous challenges persuasively, enhancing both storage value and homeowner peace of mind.
