Basement Waterproofing in Hood, VA
Challenge
After a harsh winter, a homeowner in Hood, Virginia noticed water seeping in along the basement walls as snow began to melt. The moisture left damp spots on the concrete floor and caused a musty odor that spread throughout the lower level. Wanting to prevent future damage, the homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a permanent fix.
Solution
Our System Design Specialist performed a full inspection and identified hydrostatic pressure as the main cause. The team installed the WaterGuard® sub-floor drainage system to capture seepage and direct it safely into the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, providing dependable protection even during power outages.
Finally, the SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was added to regulate humidity and maintain a dry, fresh environment. The homeowner now enjoys a clean, odor-free basement that remains dry even during seasonal thaws.
