Dry and stable basement in Martinsburg, WV
Challenge
A homeowner in Martinsburg, WV never realized she had a water intrusion problem until she began preparing for a yard sale and went down to her basement to clear out some junk. Once she started moving boxes, the problem became clear - fast. Moldy, musty, and wet walls had been hiding in plain sight for years. After scheduling a free inspection with Fortress Foundation Solutions, Skylar discovered not only water intrusion within the block walls, but also significant wall bowing caused by long term hydrostatic pressure.
Solution
Skylar designed a comprehensive solution to address both the water intrusion and structural concerns. The waterproofing system was designed to manage moisture and keep the basement dry, while a permanent wall stabilization system was installed to prevent further movement and restore peace of mind. Mike, the foreman on the project, executed the installation flawlessly. Now, this Martinsburg homeowner can enjoy a stable, safe, and healthy home for years to come.
