Basement Waterproofing in Bluemont, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Bluemont, Virginia experienced frequent basement moisture due to the unique layout of their split-level home. Water would enter along one side of the basement where the foundation was partially below grade. During heavy rain, moisture seeped through the walls and collected near the baseboards, causing staining, warping, and unpleasant odors.
The homeowner worried that ongoing dampness could lead to mold growth behind the finished walls and damage flooring and furniture. They wanted a long-term waterproofing system that would keep their basement dry and protect their investment.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed the WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System to capture and redirect incoming water before it reached the finished areas. This system was connected to the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, ensuring reliable water removal even during storms.
To manage humidity, the SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to keep the basement air dry and healthy.
With the system in place, the basement stayed dry and comfortable, allowing the homeowner to enjoy their space without worry.
