Basement Waterproofing in Amissville, VA
Challenge
A homeowner in Amissville, VA, faced a recurring and stressful problem: water would find its way into their basement every time a heavy rainstorm passed through the area. This repeated water intrusion was more than just an inconvenience; it posed a significant threat to their property. The damp environment created concerns about potential mold growth, damaged belongings, and long-term structural issues. Unsure of the water's entry point and worried about escalating damage, the homeowner knew they needed a professional and permanent solution to protect their home and regain their peace of mind.
Solution
After a comprehensive and free inspection, our technical advisors at NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair pinpointed the vulnerabilities in the basement. We determined that a full perimeter waterproofing system was the most effective approach to guarantee a dry space. Our team implemented a multi-faceted solution designed to manage and redirect any water. We installed our WaterGuard® interior drainage system around the entire perimeter of the basement floor. This system is engineered to capture any water seeping through the foundation walls and channel it directly to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump system. To further protect the basement, we applied our CleanSpace® vapor barrier to the walls, preventing moisture from passing through while brightening the space. Finally, an IceGuard® attachment was fitted to the exterior sump pump discharge line, ensuring the system remains operational even during freezing winter conditions. This complete system provides a robust defense, actively managing water to keep the basement dry year-round.
