Basement Waterproofing in Farmville, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Farmville contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after dealing with persistent basement dampness and elevated humidity levels throughout the year. Although standing water was uncommon, the basement felt consistently wet and uncomfortable. Condensation frequently formed on walls, pipes, and stored items, and musty odors spread into the main living areas of the home.
The moisture problem was caused by water seeping through porous foundation walls and floor, especially during humid weather. Without proper moisture control, the basement environment created ideal conditions for mold growth and long-term structural deterioration. The homeowner wanted a solution that would permanently dry out the basement and improve overall home health.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a complete waterproofing system designed to manage both water intrusion and humidity. A WaterGuard® sub-floor drainage system was installed to capture moisture before it entered the basement. Water was directed into a TripleSafe™ sump pump system, ensuring consistent water removal under all conditions.
To maintain a dry, healthy environment, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was added. After installation, the basement remained dry, odors were eliminated, and the homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their basement was protected long-term.
