Before & After Photos

This home in Penn Laird had a recurring problem with water seeping into the basement. The homeowner reached out to Fortress for a solution on how to best fix this problem.

Our System Designer, Paul Heckman, went out to assess this home and determined that the best solution would be to install our WaterGuard XL System along the perimeter of the basement, along with a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry XP dehumidifier.

Our WaterGuard System is designed to capture any wall or floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor, any water will then drain to the TripleSafe and be pumped out of the home. These products will work together to ensure that this basement will remain a dry space!

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a WaterGuard french drain system that connected two rooms, CleanSpace wall system, and TripleSafe sump pump.

Erica B. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after water was coming in a crack in her basement wall. Fortress made her an inspection appointment with system designer, Caleb Stone. Caleb provided Erica with a same-day proposal and Erica agreed to move forward. Soon foreman David Bowers and his crew were onsite installing a FlexiSpan. This is an innovative polyurethane sealant that seals the crack, will never dry or crack and can flex to the natural movement of the foundation wall, ensuring a completely waterproofed seal. Now this Willis, VA homeowner has a dry basement!

This basement in Cross Junction had a wall that was leaking by the water heater. This can cause rusting and other damage to the water heater. To solve this issue, Fortress installed the WaterGuard system around the water heater and hooked it up to the existing sump pump.

This homeowner gave Fortress a call because each time they would receive any rain in their area, their basement would too!

Our system designer, Chris Guill, went out to their home to do a complete inspection. After providing an estimate that included a full perimeter WaterGuard System along with a TripleSafe Sump Pump, this homeowner quickly agreed! 

Our WaterGuard System is the ideal choice when waterproofing a basement. This French drain system is installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing, keeping the drainage system out of the "mud zone" where it could potentially get clogged. All water enters the WaterGuard flowing to the sump pump and is pumped out of the home. The TripleSafe includes three pumps - two for heavy rains and the third connected to a battery backup in case the power goes out. Now the basement is dry in all situations.
