Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Healthy Basement Near Dumfries, VA

Nena D, a homeowner near Dumfries, VA, was using her basement for storage and as a bedroom for an extended family member. Noticing a musty smell and some damp spots on the walls, she became concerned and called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate. System Designer Todd Simmons went out for a thorough inspection. He recommended a full perimeter WaterGuard System with a Triple Safe Sump Pump and Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier. Nena agreed and soon foreman Edgar and his crew were onsite installing the system. Now this Dumfries basement is dry and healthy for all family members!

WaterGuard Trench

A trench is carefully created around the basement perimeter. WaterGuard and crushed stone are set and the trench is smoothed over with concrete. Water will drain through this system to the Super Sump Sump Pump and be pumped out of the home!
