This homeowner in Lynchburg, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns of water making its way into their basement. Water can seep through the foundation and into the basement through cracks in concrete or cinder block walls, through cracks in concrete floors, around basement windows, and through exterior access doors. Water coming into the basement creates the potential for musty, mildewed odors, high humidity, and mold growth. This can affect the air quality in the livable spaces of your home. You may notice musty odors on your first floor, or your home may feel humid and damp. After a thorough inspection of this homeowner’s basement, we developed a plan to address this homeowner’s concerns. First, we fastened CleanSpace, a heavy duty vinyl liner, to the basement walls and sealed all of the seams with a heavy-duty 4” wide vinyl tape.  The CleanSpace will keep any water or vapor entering through the basement walls from entering the basement and direct it into the drainage system. Next, we installed the WaterGuard Drainage System, sub-slab, along the perimeter of the basement. As part of the WaterGuard system, a Trench Drain was installed at the bottom of the steps from the basement’s outside access. This collects any water that makes its way into the basement and directs it to a sump pump.
