Basement Waterproofing in Adamstown, MD
Challenge
A homeowner in Adamstown reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after experiencing repeated basement flooding during heavy rainstorms. Water entered rapidly along the foundation perimeter, leaving standing water on the basement floor and damaging stored items. The homeowner avoided using the basement due to constant cleanup and concerns about long-term damage.
The property’s soil retained moisture, and water consistently accumulated around the foundation during storms. Without an effective interior drainage system, hydrostatic pressure forced water through the foundation wall and floor joint. The homeowner wanted a dependable waterproofing solution that would protect the basement regardless of weather conditions.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a WaterGuard® perimeter drainage system to intercept incoming water before it reached the basement floor. The system directed water into a TripleSafe™ sump pump, which provided multiple layers of protection and reliable performance during severe weather.
A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was added to maintain healthy humidity levels and prevent moisture-related odors and mold growth. After installation, the basement stayed dry during subsequent storms, and the homeowner regained full use of the space.
