Basement Waterproofing in Fort Myer, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Fort Myer, Virginia had long struggled with a damp, musty basement that made the entire home feel uncomfortable. Condensation frequently formed on the walls and pipes, and the air felt heavy and stale. Stored belongings began to show signs of mold and mildew, and the odor traveled upstairs through the home’s HVAC system.
The homeowner knew that continued moisture could damage the foundation and create unhealthy living conditions. They wanted a professional solution that would permanently eliminate water and humidity problems.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed the WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System to capture water entering through the foundation walls and floor joint. The water was directed into the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, ensuring reliable removal even during storms or power outages.
To address the humid air and mold risk, we added the SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier. This system keeps the basement dry and filters out mold spores, dust, and allergens, improving indoor air quality throughout the home.
With the full system in place, the basement was transformed into a clean, dry, and healthy space. Musty odors disappeared, humidity stabilized, and the homeowner gained confidence knowing their home was permanently protected.
