Basement Waterproofing in Big Island, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Big Isalnd Virginia began experiencing water intrusion in their basement after years of foundation settling created small cracks in the walls and floor. During periods of heavy rain, water would seep through these cracks and collect on the floor, creating damp, slippery conditions. Over time, stored items became damaged, and the basement developed a persistent odor.
The homeowner was concerned that ongoing moisture could lead to mold, structural damage, and costly repairs. They needed a professional waterproofing solution that would address the underlying problem and keep their basement dry long term.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed the WaterGuard® Drainage System to intercept water entering the basement and guide it to the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. The sump pump’s triple-layer protection ensured dependable performance, even during extreme weather.
To maintain a healthy environment, we also installed the SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier, which effectively removes moisture and prevents mold and mildew growth.
After the installation, the basement stayed dry, clean, and odor-free, giving the homeowner peace of mind and a healthier living space.
