Serving Northern Virginia, D.C., and Suburban Maryland
Before & After
In the peaceful town of Amissville, nestled within Culpeper County, VA, even the most charming homes can be caught off guard by Virginia’s unpredictable storms. One local homeowner found themselves in a stressful situation during a recent downpour when water began pooling in a garden-level window well. With nowhere to drain, the water eventually seeped through the base of the window, leaking into the basement and turning a functional space into a damp, distressing mess.
Looking for a reliable and permanent fix, the homeowner contacted NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, a name trusted throughout Culpeper County for expert drainage and waterproofing solutions. Our System Design Specialist arrived promptly to assess the problem. During the inspection, it became clear: the window well had no effective drainage system, and the risk of repeat basement flooding was high without immediate intervention.
To solve the issue at its source, our team designed a tailored drainage system that would both resolve the current intrusion and prevent future problems. We began by installing trench drains directly inside the window wells, capturing water before it could rise to the sill. These were then tied into a newly installed exterior drainage line, ending in a 12-inch catch basin—a powerful combination that channels stormwater away from the home’s foundation quickly and efficiently.
The result? A dry, protected basement in Amissville that’s now ready for anything the skies bring. Beyond the technical fix, the homeowner gained lasting peace of mind—knowing their home is protected by a proactive system built to handle heavy rains and shifting conditions common in Virginia’s Piedmont region.
