Basement Waterproofing in Markham, VA
Challenge
A family in Markham, Virginia had long avoided using their basement for storage due to persistent dampness and odor. Items stored downstairs often felt clammy or developed mold spots, and the family was concerned that moisture might begin damaging the foundation. They contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions to reclaim the space and protect their home investment.
Solution
Our System Design Specialist identified wall seepage and condensation as key contributors to the moisture problem. The solution began with the installation of the WaterGuard® drainage system, which intercepts groundwater before it enters the living area. This was connected to the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System to guarantee continuous operation, even in heavy rains or power failures.
To control airborne moisture, the SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was added to maintain ideal humidity levels and keep the air fresh and healthy.
Once complete, the homeowner was delighted to finally have a dry, odor-free basement that could safely store their belongings year-round. The transformation turned a wasted space into a functional, worry-free part of the home.
