Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Martinsburg, WV never realized she had a water intrusion problem until she began preparing for a yard sale and went down to her basement to clear out some junk. Once she started moving boxes, the problem became clear- fast. Moldy, musty, and wet walls had been hiding right in front of her the entire time.

She immediately reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions and scheduled her free estimate. Skylar was the System Designer for the project and completed a thorough inspection of the property. He not only found water sitting inside the block walls, but also discovered that the prolonged moisture had caused the walls to bow inward due to hydrostatic pressure.

This home needed more than just waterproofing - it also required a permanent wall stabilization solution. Mike was the foreman on the job and executed Skylar's proposal flawlessly. Now, this homeowner can enjoy a stable, safe, and healthy home for years to come.

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. 

In Clear Spring, Maryland, a homeowner was tired of dealing with a wet basement and finally decided to call Fortress Foundation Solutions.

Skylar was the System Designer assigned to the home and completed a full, comprehensive evaluation of the property. After his inspection, he recommended a complete waterproofing solution consisting of WaterGuard, our interior drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump system, a Sedona sani dry and Foamax wall insulation to help insulate the basement while providing a clean, finished appearance.

Nicholas and his crew followed Skylar's proposal and completed the project efficiently in just two days. The homeowner now has a dry, healthier basement and greater peace of mind knowing the space is protected from future water intrusion.

Logan, a homeowner in Charles Town, WV reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing moisture intrusion, strong musty odors, and visible mold growth on the basement walls. Our System Designer, Riley provided a free estimate and recommended a WaterGuard waterproofing system to address the water problem.

Fortress installed 65 feet of WaterGuard interior drainage and a SuperSump Plus sump pump system. WaterGuard collects water entering through the floor-wall joint along the basement perimeter and directs it to the sump pump for discharge. Together, these systems help keep the basement dry and reduce the moisture that allows mold to thrive.
