Basement Waterproofing in Radford, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Radford reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after years of dealing with a basement that remained damp throughout much of the year. Water seepage occurred during heavy rainfall, and the basement floors and walls stayed moist long after storms passed. Stored items showed signs of moisture damage, and the homeowner became concerned about mold growth and foundation deterioration.
The inspection showed that water was collecting around the foundation due to soil conditions and inadequate drainage. Hydrostatic pressure forced moisture through the basement wall and floor joint, making it clear that a permanent waterproofing solution was needed.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a comprehensive waterproofing system tailored to the home. A WaterGuard® perimeter drainage system was installed beneath the basement floor to capture incoming water. This system was connected to a TripleSafe™ sump pump, providing reliable protection even during heavy rain and power outages.
A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to control humidity and improve air quality. Once completed, the basement remained dry, odor-free, and protected, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind.
