Basement Waterproofing in Stephenson, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Stephenson, Virginia had recently finished their basement into a family room and home office. Not long after the renovation, they began noticing damp carpet edges, staining along the baseboards, and a faint but persistent mildew odor. During heavy rainfall, small amounts of water would seep through the foundation wall and floor joint, threatening their newly installed flooring and drywall. The homeowner was concerned that continued moisture could result in mold, structural damage, and costly repairs to their finished space.
Solution
Our team conducted a thorough inspection and identified that groundwater was entering through the cove joint and hairline wall cracks. To protect the finished basement without disrupting its appearance, we installed the WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System beneath the floor slab along the perimeter. This system captures water before it reaches the surface and directs it to the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, which provides powerful and dependable pumping, even during storms or power failures.
To ensure the air remained dry and healthy, we installed the SaniDry™ Sedona, which maintains ideal humidity levels and filters allergens. After the installation, moisture was completely eliminated. The carpet dried, odors vanished, and the homeowner regained full use of their finished basement with confidence that it was protected for the long term.
