Basement Waterproofing in Woodstock, Maryland
Challenge
A homeowner in Woodstock reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after experiencing repeated basement flooding during heavy rainstorms. Water entered where the basement walls met the floor, leaving standing water and soaked carpeting. The homeowner avoided using the basement due to constant cleanup and concerns about mold growth.
The property’s soil retained moisture, and water accumulated along the foundation after storms. As hydrostatic pressure increased, water was forced through vulnerable areas of the foundation. The homeowner needed a dependable solution that would protect the basement regardless of weather conditions.
Solution
Our team installed a WaterGuard® perimeter drainage system paired with a TripleSafe™ sump pump to capture and redirect incoming water. A SaniDry™ Sedona was added to maintain healthy humidity levels. After installation, the basement remained dry and functional, even during heavy rainfall.
