Basement Waterproofing in Capon Springs, WV
Challenge
A family in Capon Springs, West Virginia noticed water seeping through small cracks along their finished basement walls after several heavy rainfalls. The recurring dampness began to damage carpet edges and drywall, creating a musty smell that spread throughout the lower level.
Concerned about further damage to their newly finished space, they contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions to find a dependable waterproofing solution.
Solution
Our System Design Specialist inspected the basement and identified hydrostatic pressure as the cause of the leaks. To address the issue at its source, our team installed the WaterGuard® drainage system around the interior perimeter to intercept groundwater before it reached the floor surface.
The TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System was then added to ensure complete water management, offering triple-pump redundancy for maximum reliability, even during power outages. Finally, to control humidity and protect their finishes, we installed the SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, ensuring the basement remained dry and odor-free year-round.
The homeowners were thrilled to have their basement restored to a clean, comfortable living space—and confident that their investment was protected for years to come.
