Basement Waterproofing in Bristow, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Bristow, Virginia noticed that their home constantly smelled damp, even though no standing water was visible in the basement. Condensation formed on pipes and walls, and the basement air felt cold and heavy. Over time, the odor spread into the living areas through the HVAC system, making the entire home feel uncomfortable. The homeowner was also concerned that the damp environment could lead to mold growth and long-term foundation damage.
They had tried using dehumidifiers and air fresheners, but these only masked the problem rather than solving it. They needed a solution that would remove both moisture and the source of the odor.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed the WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System to capture any water entering through the foundation and direct it safely to the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, which provides reliable pumping and backup protection.
To eliminate humidity and improve air quality, we installed the SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier, which continuously dries the air and filters mold spores, dust, and allergens.
With moisture controlled, the basement became clean, dry, and odor-free. The homeowner noticed an immediate improvement in indoor air quality and gained peace of mind knowing their home was protected from future moisture problems.
